Mr Fox’s call

Alther Walden

SPECULATIVE Advised 11/4 Est. 35%

Mr Fox says

Alther Walden (SR 87, 11/4) is the class standout in this field, sitting clear of the next-best Mick Collins (SR 83) and Soul Limbo (SR 80). The market has made its view emphatic — a 42% inward move from opening price is the strongest market signal in the race by a wide margin, suggesting significant informed support. George Scott (20% strike rate, 887 runners) and Callum Rodriguez (20%, 1330) are a sharp, high-performing combination. The P on the form string (251-1P) is a concern given 153 days off, but the tongue-tie addition and the dominant market move suggest connections are confident the horse returns in good order. The weight at 9-10 is manageable against the second-ranked horses. Each-way alternative: Gentle Warrior. Main danger: Mick Collins — Mick Collins (SR 83, 4/1) has freshened up on a lowered mark (-1), carries only 9-2 giving him a handy 8lb weight pull on Alther Walden, P.J. McDonald is a quality booking, and a 15% market inward move confirms some confidence from connections.
