Mr Fox’s call
Seeking Charles
SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Seeking Charles carries the joint-lightest competitive weight (11-0) with the field's highest SR of 88, giving a meaningful ability edge over every rival. The form string 30-321 shows a last-time-out win and consistent placing, and a 11% market shortening signals stable confidence. Course:W1P1 at Epsom is a concrete positive on this tricky track where course craft matters. The only caveat is GoingFit:- (poor record on good ground specifically), but the weight advantage and SR lead are sufficient to override that concern in a moderate Class 4 heat. Each-way alternative: Nibras Gold. Main danger: Marnier — Marnier has steamed in 30% in the market — the strongest mover in the field — drops a class, has GoingFit:+ confirmed, and Gary & Josh Moore's use of Caoilin Quinn (17% strike rate) over Zarakerjack's jockey suggests this is the yard's intended runner, making the market move hard to dismiss despite a career-high mark.
