SPECULATIVE Advised 15/8 Est. 32%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Frankies Dream (SR 80, 15/8) is the highest-rated runner in the field and the market has dramatically reinforced that view with a 38% steam — the most aggressive move across any runner here. The drop of 1 class combined with a mark 5lb lower than last win (MarkMv:-5) creates a genuinely favourable handicap scenario. GoingFit:+ confirms she handles today's good ground, and Course:W2P5 at Newcastle shows she handles the track. The one caveat is a DistFit:~ at 7f rather than confirmed, but the market support at this level is too loud to ignore. Each-way alternative: Lord Capulet. Main danger: Lord Capulet — Lord Capulet (SR 77, 11/2) has steamed 29% in the market, holds GoingFit:+ and DistFit:+ with Course:W4P6 at Newcastle — a proven track specialist dropping a class — and at 11/2 the market is making a clear case that connections expect a bold showing.
