Coulstys Way

SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 26%

9TH

Mr Fox says

Coulstys Way (SR:59, 4/1) carries a very light 9-9 and has steamed in 17% in the market — the strongest positive market move in the field — suggesting stable confidence in a yard running at 10%. The SR of 59 is competitive for this level and the weight advantage over higher-rated rivals Catherine Magennis (SR:67, 10-2) and Lady Plimsoll (SR:65, 10-0) is meaningful at 1m4f on good ground where every pound counts. The form string 28-03U includes an unseated rider which distorts the recent picture, and prior to that there are respectable finishes; the market move suggests connections believe the horse is ready to build on that underlying ability. At 4/1 in a wide-open 18-runner handicap, the combination of market confidence, light weight, and credible SR justifies the pick. Each-way alternative: Catherine Magennis. Main danger: Catherine Magennis — Catherine Magennis carries the highest SR in the field (67) and despite drifting 9% has Seamie Heffernan booked — a jockey whose presence on any runner in an Irish provincial handicap is meaningful — and recent form of 7-2-3 shows consistent competitive placement at this level.
