Mr Fox says

Inthenickoftime (SR 104, 13/8) is the clear class-leader in this field, sitting well clear of the next-best runner and carrying 11-12 — a weight advantage relative to SR that still looks manageable. Crucially, the market has shortened 9% since opening, suggesting informed money is siding with the selection, and the horse has course form (W1P1 at Galway) on ground it handles (GoingFit:+). The DistFit:- flag is a genuine concern — the horse has not shown its best form at this trip — but the SR gap of 8+ points over any rival, combined with top-class going conditions and yard support (E Bolger, 12%), is sufficient to override that reservation. The MarkMv:+7 is a mild negative but the SR still comfortably leads the field, and a horse running off a higher mark that holds a 12-point SR advantage over the next rival is simply the one to beat. Each-way alternative: Bowgate Street. Main danger: Bowgate Street — Bowgate Street (SR 93, 13/2) has steamed in 29% in the market — the strongest positive market move in the race — has course form (W0P2 at Galway), is well-ridden by Darragh O'Keeffe (13% SR), and while the DistFit:- and GoingFit:- flags are concerns, market confidence at this magnitude rarely appears without stable confidence behind it.
