Caher Roes Den

SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 26%

5TH

Mr Fox says

Caher Roes Den (SR 100, 5/2) is trained by W.P. Mullins (26% strike rate, 2,966 runners) and ridden by Paul Townend (38% strike rate, 905 runners) — the strongest connections combination in the field by a considerable margin. The form string 9P/413 shows a recent third and then a win, indicating upward trajectory, and while the distance and going are question marks (?), the Mullins/Townend combination at this level rarely turns up without confidence. The 5/2 market position is the shortest price in the field and has not drifted, suggesting stable confidence from connections who know exactly what they have on a chase debut. Chase The Moon (SR 110, 11/2) has the highest SR and a striking 38% market steam, but 204 days off with a '9-' tail to the form and a low-grade trainer (7% strike rate) makes the Mullins runner the more reliable vehicle. Each-way alternative: Chase The Moon. Main danger: Kir — Kir (SR 98, 5/1) has steamed 34% in the market for Henry de Bromhead (16% strike rate) and while the form tail shows a '9-', the strong market move and competent handler suggest a horse that may have found its feet over fences.
