Mr Fox’s call
Winston's Oath
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Winston's Oath (SR:80, 7/2) holds the second-highest SR in the field and is the strongest on ability among horses carrying reasonable weight at 10-11, giving him a clear lbs edge over Lady Fortune (SR:82, 11-4) who carries 7lb more. The market has shortened 14% from opening, signalling meaningful support, and the James Owen/Sean Bowen combination (19%/24% career strike rates respectively) is a formidable booking for what looks a winnable Class 5 novice limited handicap. The visor is applied and the step up in class (↑1) is offset by the light weight and progressive profile of a 4-year-old, with GoingFit:~ suggesting the good ground is manageable. Each-way alternative: Lady Fortune. Main danger: No Mean Feat — No Mean Feat has steamed 20% in the market at 9/1, carries the lightest competitive weight at 10-8, and the cheekpieces application on a 7-year-old with place form could sharpen it up on good ground at a track that suits waiting tactics.
