Mr Fox says

Daddy Long Legs (SR:153, 7/4) is the clear class leader in this field, sitting 12 points above Bowensonfire and 16 above Putapoundinthejar on the SR scale. Trained by W P Mullins (21% career strike rate, 1,291 runners — the most powerful jumps yard in Ireland) and ridden by Brian Hayes, the recent form of 292/12 shows consistent competitiveness at a higher level, with the rightmost '2' indicating a place finish last time out. GoingFit:+ confirms he handles today's good ground. The DistFit:? flag is the one caution — insufficient samples at 2m1f — but a Mullins horse at this price with this SR and going confirmation is the play regardless of the trip uncertainty. Each-way alternative: Bowensonfire. Main danger: Bowensonfire — Bowensonfire (SR:141, 9/4) has both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — proven at this trip and ground — and is handled by Jack Kennedy (19% strike rate) for Gordon Elliott (15%), giving him a real each-way profile and the form confidence to pressure the favourite throughout.
