Mr Fox says

Unauthorized (SR:86, 5/1, 9-11) is the pick on the strength of a 16% market move in — the sharpest steaming in this field — combined with a competitive SR of 86 that sits right at the top of the field alongside Stag Night. As a 3-year-old from Aidan Melia's yard (15% strike rate, the best in the field), the form string '-71827' shows a recent placed run in the seventh position then a marked improvement to second last time, and the apprentice claimer's 5lb allowance gives a meaningful weight edge: 9-11 against Keke's 10-3 represents a massive 6lb swing in real terms. While DistFit:- and GoingFit:? are flags, the market confidence is too loud to ignore and the weight advantage in this soft-ground five-furlong contest is material. Each-way alternative: Stag Night. Main danger: Stag Night — Stag Night (SR:87, 5/1, GoingFit:+) is the highest-rated horse in the field with a confirmed liking for soft ground and course form (W2P3 at Naas), and though it has drifted slightly, the ability ceiling is the best here.
