Mr Fox says

Depalma (SR 117, 4/6) carries the lightest weight at 10-10, giving it a 14lb advantage over top-weight Muskerry Rock and a 8lb edge on Limerick Leader — a massive swing in a 3m1f chase on good ground. The Dan/Harry Skelton combination is the strongest training-jockey pairing in the field (22% and 26% strike rates respectively), and the market has firmed 12% confirming confidence from the yard. Form of 1-2321 shows consistent placing at the sharp end, and running off the same mark as its last win (MarkMv:=) means there's no penalty to absorb from recent success. Each-way alternative: Muskerry Rock. Main danger: Muskerry Rock — Muskerry Rock holds the highest SR at 121 and boasts genuine course form (W1P1) with Sean Bowen — a top jockey booking — and the 14% market support could reflect stable confidence despite the top-weight and recent pulled-up run.
