Mr Fox says

Delgany Second Now (SR:102, 11/8) is the class standout in this field by a considerable margin — the next-best SR is 88 (Roi du Roume) and the field average is well below competitive handicap range. The Dan Skelton/Harry Skelton combination fires at 22%/27% strike rates respectively, among the most potent partnerships in jumps racing, and the horse arrives on the back of a three-timer (Form: 775111, rightmost three runs all wins) confirming peak form and momentum. GoingFit:+ confirms it handles today's good ground, and at age 4 it carries only 11-1, a favourable weight against the older rivals. The concern is MarkMv:+17 — the handicapper has raised it 17lb since its last win, which is a substantial hike and the primary reason this isn't rated High confidence — but the raw SR gap over its rivals is large enough to absorb that penalty. Each-way alternative: Roi du Roume. Main danger: Roi du Roume — Roi du Roume (SR:88, 9/4) is the second-market choice at a competitive price, carries the lightest weight among the credible contenders at 10-7, has course form (W0P1 at Perth), and Mickey Bowen's yard fires at 16% — if the MarkMv:+17 penalty blunts Delgany Second Now's superiority, Roi du Roume is the most likely beneficiary.
