Mr Fox says

Athair Mor (SR:102, 9/4) is the clear class leader in this field, sitting 7 points clear of the next-best runners at SR:95. Crucially, the market has shortened 14% since opening, indicating informed money coming in despite no Days figure suggesting a fresh horse returning from a break — connections are confident. At 11-9, the weight is competitive and meaningfully below top-weight Achille des Rocs (12-0), who carries an extra 5lb for a modest SR:95. The consistent form string of 62222- shows Athair Mor is reliably hitting the frame, and a step up to a clear win is the logical progression here. Each-way alternative: Prospect House. Main danger: Achille des Rocs — Achille des Rocs (SR:95, 4/1) showed a recent 4th-then-1st sequence in latest form and Danny McMenamin (15% strike rate) is a strong pilot, though the 12-0 top weight on this going is a real concern.
