Fox The Cute Bet At Navan Tomorrow

There has been no shortage of precipitation around Ireland on Sunday afternoon/evening, and Navan has not escaped the rain. The ground is currently described as good at the Co.Meath track, but I am willing to wager it will have turned soft by the time the 4.15 comes around on Monday afternoon. 

The Fox Tully ran a lovely race at Galway last time, a track with similar characteristics to Navan. He seems to like a stiff uphill finish, and indeed he went down by just a head on his last visit to his trainer's local track (13f soft). That effort came off a mark of 75, and he is 2lb lower today. 

His capable young claimer Killian Leonard takes off an invaluable 10lb, and when this is taken into consideration he is effectively 8lb lower than his last winning mark of 71. He looks well treated, the track is sure to suit and with plenty of rain about he should get his preferred ground. The trip is ideal too. His current price of 14/1 with various bookmakers looks all wrong, and with a bit of luck in running he should be bang there at the finish. He is a confident Monday selection. 

STEVOS' SELECTION: 4.15 NAVAN-THE FOX TULLY (14/1).
