Mr Fox says

Minella Rockett (SR 99, 7/2) is the clear SR leader in this field by 8 points over Guardian Of Realm, carrying a featherweight 8-9 — the lightest viable weight in the race — which is a significant physical edge over Diamond Exchange (9-0) and Alice Monet (10-0). The form figure '32-451' resolves to a last-run win, confirming peak fitness on good going (GoingFit:+), and trainer John J Nallen runs a tight operation (12% strike rate from just 43 runners, indicating selective entries). The MarkMv:+5 is a mild negative but the weight and SR advantage more than compensate; the apprentice Holohan claiming further offsets any mark rise. Each-way alternative: Guardian Of Realm. Main danger: Guardian Of Realm — Guardian Of Realm (SR 91, 15/2) is steaming in the market at Mkt:in14%, carries the lightest weight of the leading trio at 8-13, has confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's ground, and a last-run win ('322-61') with a long 87-day gap that may actually signal a prep for this specific target.
