Mr Fox’s call
My Great Mate
MEDIUM Advised 10/11 Est. 45%
Mr Fox says
My Great Mate (SR 127, 10/11) is the clear class standout in this five-runner beginners' chase, holding a 6-point SR edge over Affinity Rock and a 16-point edge over Chanceawetmorning. The Mullins/Townend combination is the strongest pairing in Irish jumps racing — Townend strikes at 29% from 360 rides and Mullins at 21% from 1,313 — and the market has confirmed the stable's intention with a 9% inward move since opening. The form line of 4/24-3 shows consistent placed efforts at a level above this company, and a beginners' chase at Kilbeggan against this modest opposition represents a drop into very comfortable waters for a Mullins inmate. Each-way alternative: Affinity Rock. Main danger: Chanceawetmorning — Chanceawetmorning (SR 111, 4/1) is trained by Gordon Elliott — a yard that wins at 15% from 1,779 runners — ran only nine days ago suggesting peak fitness, and a form figure of '4' most recently on a going that does not suit could mask a better performance if today's good ground plays to its strengths.
