Mr Fox says

Priorstown (SR:73, 10/3) is the clear SR leader in a field where the next-best is Grann's Boy at SR:65 and Nicky Larson at SR:72. Trained by J.P. Murtagh (11%, 1376 runners) with Ben Coen booked (11%, 1893 runners) — a strong combination for a yard that doesn't over-run its horses. The form string 607012 shows a last-time-out second, suggesting peak fitness, and at 9-4 the weight is manageable for the class. The 10/3 price implies around 23% but the SR edge over the field is genuine enough to nudge the probability up slightly to 28%. Each-way alternative: Grann's Boy. Main danger: Grann's Boy — Grann's Boy (SR:65, 6/1) is shortening (Mkt:in9%), carries only 9-6 versus Priorstown's 9-4 for a similar ability level, and the MarkMv:-65 suggests the handicapper has given him significant room to operate from a lenient mark.
