Mr Fox says

Boola Times (SR:86, 3/1) is the highest-rated runner in the field by a clear margin and arrives in career-best form off a last-time-out win (Form:7P-351, rightmost digit = 1). The market has backed this horse in by 11%, confirming professional confidence. Although the GoingFit:- is a concern on today's good ground and the MarkMv:+6 means connections must win off a 6lb higher mark, the SR advantage over the next-best runners (Let Him B SR:85, Gortmore Lady SR:81) is meaningful and the jockey booking of Darragh O'Keeffe (13% career SR across 1,929 runners) provides solid experience at this level. The combination of top SR, last-time-out win, and significant market support outweighs the going reservation in a €6,000 handicap field of this overall quality. Each-way alternative: John Dixen. Main danger: Let Him B — Let Him B (SR:85, 7/2) matches Boola Times almost point-for-point on raw ability and gets in 4lb lighter at 11-12, but the MarkMv:+13 — running off a mark 13lb higher than at last win — is a steep ask and GoingFit:- is a shared concern; however if the handicapper has over-corrected and the horse bounces back from a poor recent run (Form:2-0092), it is the most likely alternative winner.
