Ballybunion silks

Ballybunion

SPECULATIVE Advised 15/8 Est. 32%

7TH

Mr Fox says

Ballybunion (SR:71, 15/8) is the class leader in this field by a clear margin, carrying a manageable 9-10 and dropping a tier (ClassMv:↓1) into Class 6 company. GoingFit:+ confirms proven ability on today's going, and the market has shortened 7% (Mkt:in7%) with Oisin Murphy — a 22% career strike rate jockey — booked, which is a strong connections signal. The main concern is DistFit:? at this trip, but the class drop and Michael Bell's 14% yard strike rate provide sufficient corroboration for a confident selection. The 15/8 price still offers fair value against a field where the next-best SR is Baloo's Blues at 70. Each-way alternative: Baloo's Blues. Main danger: Baloo's Blues — Baloo's Blues (SR:70, 9/2) drops a class, carries DistFit:+ over this trip, and Charles Hills' yard operates at 15% — the GoingFit:- is the key reservation, but on AW at Wolverhampton the going designation matters less than on turf, and Jason Watson at 13% is a reliable booking.
