A Fox Among Chickens

[Steeplechasing]

There’s a competitive looking handicap at Carlisle at 4.45, and I am keen on Westy Fox, a recent Irish import to Micky Hammond’s yard. In his first run for the yard in December over about this trip, he went really well to finish 3rd. 3m3f seemed just a bit too far for him last time, though he ran well for a long way.

His ace in the hole in this race is that he is the only one in the field whose best performance has come on a right handed, galloping, testing track on heavy ground; exactly what he gets today. Bet365 offer – in their extra place markets – 15/1 about him to be in the first 4, and 12/1 to be in the first 5. Most bookies go just 11/1 to 3 places. I’ve backed him EW for the first 4 and the first 5 with Bet365, and he is a strongly recommended bet EW.

Good to see you in here Joe. Bet him a couple of times, and there’s definitely races in him. Good luck

Thanks Joe.
Since winning two years ago off 92 his mark has hardly changed.
Upped a bit for coming over, looks well treated now and a long way clear of Bretney when they met.
I’m on each way.
Good luck 🤞
