Mr Fox’s call
Last Flight
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/4 SP 5/4F Est. 34%
Mr Fox says
Last Flight (SR:72, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin over Edwardtheninth and Fabled Spirit (both SR:68), and crucially carries only 9-4 — a significant weight advantage over top-weight Edwardtheninth (10-0). The form string 775331 shows a progressive improver who won last time out at the same class level (ClassMv:=), and the market has backed this up emphatically with a 23% market move in since opening — the only genuine steamer in the race. Jockey Daniel Muscutt (14% strike rate from 1,706 career rides) is a quality booking, and GoingFit:~ on good ground is not a concern at this level. The combination of top SR, lightest competitive weight, recent winning form, and meaningful market support makes this a clear selection. Each-way alternative: Edwardtheninth. Main danger: Edwardtheninth — Edwardtheninth (SR:68, 7/2) has Course:W1P3 — genuine course specialist form at Southwell — and a recent winning run (form 945131) at the same class, making him the most credible threat despite carrying 10-0.
