Mr Fox says

Wild Berries (SR 63, 7/2) carries the joint-best SR in the field alongside Connova (SR 64) but the decisive factor is the market: Mkt:in15% is the only meaningful steamer in this race, shortening significantly from the open, signalling informed money on a horse whose form-string (-07001) shows a last-time-out win. At 10-0 it is top-weight, but in a 17-runner Class-level handicap worth €6,000 on an AW surface at Dundalk, the weight penalty is manageable when the underlying ability leads the field. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan at 10% strike rate is solid and jockey Reese Holohan has the booking. The MarkMv:+9 means it runs off a higher mark than when winning, which is the main risk, but the market has absorbed that and still piled in. Each-way alternative: Connova. Main danger: Connova — Connova holds the field's top SR (64) at a featherweight 8-11, is the market favourite at 11/4, and a consistent form-string (-43342) shows it is always competitive at this level — the only concern is a modest DistFit:? and GoingFit:? leaving genuine uncertainty on today's conditions.
