Witches Familiar
Confidence: Medium

Witches Familiar (SR 157, 11/8) carries the second-highest SR in the field and the strongest connections available — W P Mullins at 20% career strike rate and Paul Townend at 30%, a genuinely elite booking that signals stable confidence. Off a 62-day break with a winning debut, the market has firmed 6% to 11/8, consistent with a yard that sends horses to Galway primed. Carmel's Phoenix holds the highest SR (161) but has drifted 20% out to 5/2 with a 9% jockey strike rate, and the combination of a single run, unknown distance and going fitness, and a conspicuous market drift makes it a horse to oppose despite the raw rating. Witches Familiar's weight advantage (11-0 vs Arouet's 11-7) over the next most credible rival reinforces the case. Each-way alternative: Arouet. Main danger: Carmel's Phoenix — Carmel's Phoenix carries the highest SR in the field (161) and, despite its 20% drift, a single winning run means there is genuine unknown upside — if that debut victory was more impressive than the market currently credits, it could easily dispose of Witches Familiar.
