Mr Fox’s call
Gotta Catch'em All
SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Gotta Catch'em All (SR:86, 4/1) has steamed in 40% in the market — the strongest move in the field — which combined with Course:W1P1 at Navan, DistFit:+ at 5f, and a trainer (H Rogers) running at a 16% strike rate makes this a compelling multi-signal case. The form string 112935 shows recent inconsistency, but the '5' last time can be contextualised alongside a mark that has risen 6lb (MarkMv:+6), and the market is aggressively backing it regardless. At 8-7, it carries the joint-lowest weight in the field, giving it a 13lb advantage over top-weight Erosandpsyche — significant over a sharp 5f on good ground. The blinkers (HG:b) applied throughout its recent runs maintain consistency in headgear, so no new equipment risk here. Each-way alternative: Namiid. Main danger: Amiata — Amiata (SR:91, 5/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field, trained by G M Lyons (15% strike rate) with Colin Keane aboard (16%), and at only 9-4 carries a manageable weight — the 47% drift is a concern but the raw ability edge and top-yard connections could overcome the market's current pessimism.
