Mr Fox says

Springboard (SR 101, 5/1, 10-8) combines the strongest market signal in the race — steaming in 29% since opening — with a sharp recent form line of 41-951, the rightmost digit showing a win last time out. Mark Walsh (22% career strike rate, one of the strongest jockey bookings in the field) is a significant positive in a race where most jockeys are 7-11%. Carrying 10-8 gives a meaningful weight advantage over higher-rated rivals Harty Cup (11-1) and Potters Pal (11-7), softening the SR deficit to those two. The DistFit:? and GoingFit:? flags are a genuine caution, but the money coming in strongly on soft ground at Galway suggests connections are happy with today's conditions. Each-way alternative: Harty Cup. Main danger: Harty Cup — Harty Cup (SR 104 — highest in the field, 9/2, ridden by Harry Cobden at 22% career strike rate) carries the top ability rating and a powerful jockey booking; if connections are satisfied with the conditions despite the GoingFit:? flag, it has the raw class to win.
