Jasko des Dames
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Jasko des Dames (SR:122, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and carries 11-12 — a significant burden, but the GoingFit:+ confirms this going suits, which is critical in a 2m1f140y chase. Henry de Bromhead's yard fires at 16% strike rate with 2,367 runners of experience, and within the stable the booking of Darragh O'Keeffe rather than the higher-profile Harry Cobden (on stablemate Birdie Or Bust) is notable — Cobden is typically reserved for the yard's A-string, but Birdie Or Bust's DistFit:- and GoingFit:- undermine that booking heavily, suggesting Jasko is the live contender here. The form 054-52 is not spectacular, but the 2 last time out on good ground ties directly to today's conditions and the SR:122 advantage over nearest rival Mic Drop (SR:119) is meaningful in this grade. Each-way alternative: Mic Drop. Main danger: Mic Drop — Mic Drop (SR:119, 4/1) shows a form sequence of 5-1132 with two consecutive placings and a win three runs back, carries a light 10-7, has GoingFit:+ confirming the ground suits, and despite drifting 8% the SR:119 and strong recent form make it the most credible threat at a competitive price.
