Mr Fox says

Kingdom Calling (SR:88, 4/1) is the joint-highest rated runner in the field and carries a manageable 11-0 — a significant weight advantage over rivals like Game Phoenix (12-0) and Marian Avenue (11-13). The market has shortened 9% since opening, signalling genuine support in a 17-runner field where most horses are drifting. The form figure '0-6041' shows a last-time-out win, and the horse holds course form (W1P1 at Listowel), both crucial signals. Within the McCarthy yard, Darragh O'Keeffe on Big Dee is an interesting booking but that horse has a pulled-up string and a 121-day absence; the Phillip Enright booking on Kingdom Calling, combined with the market move, confirms this is the yard's number one. Each-way alternative: Euro Maker. Main danger: Loi Des Jeux — Loi Des Jeux (SR:83, 9/2) has the joint-best three-star rating alongside Kingdom Calling, carries only 11-5, and Danny Mullins (11% career strike rate from 1,245 runners) is a high-quality booking — despite the 14% drift, the recency of a last-time-out win (form ending in '1') at a lighter mark (+7 on mark) is a genuine threat.
