Sea Cookie

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Sea Cookie carries the lowest weight in the field at 9-8, holds the highest SR at 97, and crucially is the only runner with confirmed distance fitness (DistFit:+) and going fitness (GoingFit:+) on today's Good to Firm ground over 6f — a rare double confirmation that matters enormously in a field where everyone else is unproven or poor on the going. The form string 22-110 shows two recent wins before a 0 last time, and dropping two class tiers gives connections every incentive to bounce back. Tom Clover's 14% yard strike rate is solid, and Neil Callan at 14% career SR is a competent booking. The 10/3 price is slightly adrift of the market-favourite Art Lover but represents fair value given the weight and going advantages. Each-way alternative: Ray Mon Dough. Main danger: Ray Mon Dough — Ray Mon Dough has steamed in 14% in the market, Hector Crouch (17% career SR) is a strong booking, and the class drop of one tier combined with a tongue-tie addition signals a yard that expects an immediate bounce-back from the 626 recent sequence.
