SPECULATIVE Advised 10/3 Est. 26%

🥉 3RD

Mr Fox says

Crebilly (SR:141, 10/3) offers the best combination of ability and weight: SR within 1 point of top-rated Il Est Francais but carrying 12-0 vs Crebilly's 10-5 — a 23lb pull that is decisive on good to soft ground over 2m3f. Form reads 5-1421 with the most recent run a win just 34 days ago, confirming peak fitness. Harry Cobden (22% career SR) is a strong booking, and the four-star probability rating reflects the alignment of recent winning form, proven distance record (DistFit:+), and the significant weight advantage. GoingFit:- is the only real concern, but the mark at 10-5 absorbs that risk comfortably given the class of the horse. Each-way alternative: Southoftheborder. Main danger: Il Est Francais — Il Est Francais is the market jolly (11/4, in 7%) with top SR 142 and Harry Skelton aboard, but the /3PPP- form string is alarming — three consecutive pulled-up runs before a seasonal break — and DistFit and GoingFit are both unknown; if he has turned the corner the weight (12-0) is a serious burden, and the form gives no reassurance that he has.
