Mr Fox’s call
Caher Roes Den
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Caher Roes Den (SR:109, 7/2, Wgt:10-8) is trained by W.P. Mullins (26% strike rate from 2,883 runners) and ridden by Paul Townend (38% career strike rate) — the single most powerful connections combination in this field by a significant margin. The form string 39P/41 shows a last-time-out win, and at 10-8 he carries the joint-lightest weight of any horse above SR:100, giving him a meaningful lbs edge over Hi Ho Idaho (SR:114, 11-1) and Magnor Glory (SR:108, 11-7). DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ are not alarming in a 3m hurdle on good ground where stamina and class tend to dominate. The MarkMv:+10 is the only caution — running off a higher mark than his last win — but Mullins/Townend at Listowel rarely fire a casual runner at 7/2. Each-way alternative: Hi Ho Idaho. Main danger: Hi Ho Idaho — Hi Ho Idaho (SR:114, the highest-rated runner at 4/1, Wgt:11-1) has market support (in 10%), carries a reasonable weight for his SR, and at only 5 years old has significant physical upside — a last-time-out 8th followed by a market move suggests connections believe fitness has improved.
