The Verdict
FormCast selectionCaher Roes DenConfidence 4/5Didn't win
Willie Mullins/Paul Townend is a formidable combo at this course and the horse's recent form (41 last two starts) shows he's finally come to hand, winning last time out. He carries a competitive mark of 112 with a proven yard that specialises in placing handicappers to win, and Townend's booking on a not-overly-big weight (148lbs) suggests genuine confidence. The 3m trip and good ground look ideal given his pedigree (Soldier Of Fortune) and recent stamina test performance. Top-weight Millstream Lady (130) and Magnor Glory (125) carry more relative to this field and are unproven at getting home well beyond this in this grade, while A Law Of Her Own has been well held (form 691-U8) and has a lot to find. Caher Roes Den's rating is rising and the yard's strike-rate with improving handicappers at big Irish festivals is excellent — he looks the value angle over a well-fancied but exposed favourite.
