Mr Fox says

Livenka (SR 118, 7/4) is the standout on every meaningful metric. She leads the field on SR by 8 points over Marco Polo (SR 106), carries the lightest weight at 9-0 giving her a 5lb advantage over most rivals, and her Course:W1P1 record at Fairyhouse is a significant edge in a specialist track context. DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm she handles today's 6f trip and good ground emphatically, while ClassMv:= means no step into the unknown. Colin Keane (16%, 2315 rides) is the strongest jockey booking in the race, and her recent form sequence 33114 — finishing with a win — shows she is hitting peak form at exactly the right time. Each-way alternative: Big Negotiator. Main danger: Marco Polo — Marco Polo (SR 106, 15/8) is trained by Aidan O'Brien with a DistFit:+ and a sharp last-time-out win to his credit, and while an 18% market drift is a slight concern, O'Brien's 22% strike rate means this horse commands respect as the second-highest SR in the field.
