Mr Fox’s call
Tralee Girl
SPECULATIVE Advised 4/7 Est. 52%
Mr Fox says
Tralee Girl (SR:125, 4/7) is the clear selection despite carrying top weight at 10-12. The Dan Skelton/Harry Skelton combination (22%/27% strike rates respectively — the most prolific and accurate jumps partnership in Britain) booking is itself a major signal, and the horse arrives just 8 days after a win, in peak form, at the same class and same mark. DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm confirms she handles both trip and surface; the recent form string 3242-1 shows consistent competitiveness culminating in that last-time-out win. Sixpack (SR:159) is the only credible threat on raw SR, but carries DistFit:- over this 2m trip and has a long 31-day break from just a single flat run (Form:4-), making the class drop insufficient to offset the distance concern against a horse arriving match-sharp. Each-way alternative: Sixpack. Main danger: Sixpack — Sixpack's SR:159 is comfortably the highest in the field and the class drop (↓1) could unleash a flat-bred with raw ability; if the 2m trip proves less of a barrier than DistFit:- suggests, the 9/4 reflects a horse that could simply outclass the field.
