Mr Fox says

Blood Destiny (SR 153, 6/5) is the class-leader in this small field and ticks every meaningful box: GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on good ground, DistFit:+ confirms the 2m4f trip suits, and a same-class assignment (ClassMv:=) means no adaptation required. Crucially, Mullins/Townend is the most potent training-jockey combination in Irish jump racing — Mullins strikes at 26% over 2,931 runners, Townend at a remarkable 38% — and Townend's booking over Cian Quirke (9%) on the market leader is a decisive edge. The MarkMv:+6 is a mild concern, but the SR gap of 6 points over Fleur In The Park, combined with 4lb of weight relief (11-6 vs 11-12), means Blood Destiny receives both the ability and the weight argument. The GoingFit:? flag on the favourite Fleur In The Park is a genuine vulnerability on this going. Each-way alternative: Fleur In The Park. Main danger: Fleur In The Park — Fleur In The Park (SR 147, 6/4) carries top-weight but has the highest market confidence of the three credible runners and a DistFit:+ at this trip — if the GoingFit:? proves not to be a real obstacle, the 6lb weight concession from Blood Destiny becomes manageable given the SR gap is only 6 points.
