Mr Fox says

Wicked Pleasure (SR:154, 10/3) carries the highest Saturday Rating in the field by a clear margin and is the only runner showing meaningful market support — a 14% inward move signals stable confidence after a 226-day absence. Her form figures of 33- show she has run competitively at a level that puts her well above this maiden grade, and Henry de Bromhead's 16% strike rate with a capable booking in Darragh O'Keeffe gives solid connections backing. At 10/3 with the SR edge and the only steam in the market, she represents a strong case despite the layoff. Each-way alternative: Culldoo. Main danger: Kimi De Mai — Kimi De Mai (SR:117, 6/5) is backed by W. P. Mullins and Paul Townend — the dominant combination in Irish jump racing with strike rates of 26% and 38% respectively — and while the SR trails Wicked Pleasure, the Mullins-Townend machine in a mares maiden is never to be underestimated, and the market has made her favourite.
