Mr Fox says

Dragon Of Malta (SR:77, 3/1) is the field's highest-rated runner and has surged 36% in the market — the clearest steaming signal in the race. His Course:W3P6 record at Listowel is outstanding for a specialist track, and his last-run win (form reads ...41, rightmost = 1) confirms he arrives in peak form. While DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are flags, a horse with three course wins at Listowel has clearly managed this venue's conditions before, and the weight of 10-3 is offset by a superior SR edge over the mid-field rivals. The connections, a small but 11% strike-rate yard, have targeted this race and the market has responded emphatically. Each-way alternative: La La Lucrative. Main danger: Apache Outlaw — Apache Outlaw (SR:76, 9/2) shares SR parity with Dragon Of Malta, carries 14lb less (9-5 vs 10-3) and is running off a mark 26lb below his last win — that MarkMv:-26 is a huge drop and gives him a live chance of bolting up in a race run at this level.
