Mr Fox’s call
Cape Fear
MEDIUM Advised 15/8 SP 2/1F Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Cape Fear (SR:97, 15/8) is the standout on every meaningful signal. The SR leads the field by 9 points over nearest rival Tai Hang Pegasus, and at 9-0 he carries the lightest weight in the race — a significant lbs advantage over top-weights Melek Alreeh and Raulin at 10-2. The market has sharpened 27% from opening, Oisin Murphy (21% career strike rate, 1,351 rides) is a high-calibre booking for Andrew Balding (19% strike rate, 1,486 runners), and the form string 2-3-2-1-3-2 shows relentless consistency at this class. GoingFit:+ confirms he handles good-to-firm, and a prior placing at Windsor (Course:W0P1) provides course familiarity. Each-way alternative: Tai Hang Pegasus. Main danger: Tai Hang Pegasus — Tai Hang Pegasus (SR:88, 10/3) holds the second-best SR, carries only 9-1, has DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirming he handles today's conditions, and his recent form 4-7-6-2-3-1 shows a progressive profile on a mark that has risen only 6lb since his last win — enough ability to exploit if Cape Fear finds the step up to this trip (DistFit:?) against him.
