Mr Fox says

Room For One More (SR:85, 9/4) carries the Mullins yard's stamp — a 21% career strike rate from 1305 runners is comfortably the strongest training operation in this field — and at 11-6 sits 6lb below top-weight Game Phoenix and Tingarran Express (both 12-0, SR:84), giving a meaningful weight-for-SR edge. The form string 6-902 shows inconsistency but the yard rarely runs a horse at odds-on to short-price unless it is well-fancied, and 9/4 in a 17-runner handicap hurdle is a tight market signal. GoingFit:- is the one genuine concern on good ground, but Mullins horses at Wexford are always respected, and jockey Daniel King (10%, 404 runners) provides a competent booking. The combination of best SR outside Cool Summer, lightest competitive weight, and elite trainer support is sufficient to commit. Each-way alternative: The Toothpicker. Main danger: Cool Summer — Cool Summer leads the field on SR (91) at a favourable weight of 11-3, is trained by a handler in decent form at 3% (small yard but active), carries headgear, and at 7/2 shows market confidence — the DistFit:- is the principal concern but the SR edge over the selection is real.
