Mr Fox’s call
Extended Credit
SPECULATIVE Advised 2/1 Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Extended Credit (SR 154, 2/1) has steamed in 30% from its opening price — the most significant market move in the field — which is a strong signal that connections expect a forward showing. It holds the second-highest SR at 154, sitting just 1 point below Iron Dome, and crucially carries the same weight (9-7) while the form string of 5-6 shows progressive experience through novice company. Charles Hills operates at a solid 14% strike rate over 1,240 runners, a yard that doesn't send horses to Wolverhampton midweek without purpose. The 30% market steam in a 6-runner field is the decisive differentiator over Iron Dome, whose 22% support is real but whose form of 4-4 suggests a horse that keeps running into things rather than asserting. Each-way alternative: Starship Lily. Main danger: Iron Dome — Iron Dome holds the highest SR in the field at 155, is trained by the high-strike-rate Clive Cox (17%), carries identical weight to Extended Credit, and has also shortened 22% in the market — if the hood works and it gets its head in front for the first time, it could prove difficult to peg back.
