Mr Fox says

Comfort Zone (SR 88, 7/1) is the O'Brien yard's clear #1 runner here — booking the most experienced jockey of the four stable runners, carrying 10-0 (weight is manageable given the SR advantage), and firing a significant 18% market move inward. The course form (W1P2 at Naas) and confirmed distance and going fitness (DistFit:+ GoingFit:+) on today's soft 2m0f trip are precisely the conditions required. The SR of 88 leads the O'Brien quartet and is comfortably ahead of the eliminated runners; the 18% steamer signals stable confidence that matters on a soft-ground Naas handicap where insiders know the horse's readiness. Each-way alternative: Putapoundinthejar. Main danger: Factual Fact — Factual Fact (SR 88, 9/1, Mkt:in18%) matches Comfort Zone on SR, is confirmed distance-fit, ridden by W.J. Lee (16% strike rate), and its 18% market move inward suggests de Bromhead has this primed after a 51-day break.
