SPECULATIVE Advised 9/1 Est. 10%

7TH

Mr Fox says

Party President (SR:84, 9/1) is the strongest market mover in the race with a 39% inward move, the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Onefortheditch, and carries 11-12 as top-weight which is manageable given the competitive SR edge. The DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are concerns, but the course form (W1P1 at Clonmel) and significant market confidence — money coming in hard from an opening price — override those flags in a wide-open field of limited ability. Trainer David O'Sullivan has a modest 7% strike rate but the market is clearly signalling something specific today, and MarkMv:-4 means the horse is running off a mark 4lb below its last winning mark, a tangible handicap advantage. Each-way alternative: Old Kenmare. Main danger: Stily — Stily (SR:78, 11/2) has the second-highest star rating at ★★★☆☆, a GoingFit:~ on today's good ground, is backed 8% in, carries a featherweight 10-5 giving it a significant lbs edge over the top-weights, and its last run shows a '3' — the best recent finish figure in the field.
