Fighting Falcon

SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 28%

6TH

Mr Fox says

Fighting Falcon (SR:98, 7/2) is the most compelling selection on a convergence of signals: a 52% market steamers from morning prices is the sharpest move in the field by a considerable margin, suggesting strong stable confidence. The form string P33-1P shows a recent win at this class before a pulled-up run, and the headgear combination (tp) is retained — connections are not tinkering. Carrying 11-9 gives a 6lb weight advantage over top-weight Brookside La (12-0) and a meaningful edge on the highest SR runner in the field. The step up in class (ClassMv:↑1) is a concern and the distance sample is thin (DistFit:?), but the explosive market move on a 5yo with a recent win overrides these reservations at 7/2. Each-way alternative: Not At That Price. Main danger: Brookside La — Brookside La (SR:109, 6/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and Dan Skelton/Harry Skelton is the strongest trainer-jockey combination present, with Skelton's 22% strike rate across 2,546 runners representing genuine class — the drift from shorter prices may reflect the 186-day layoff and poor going fitness (GoingFit:-) rather than lack of ability, and on good ground today she remains the class act on raw SR.
