Turbocharged silks

Turbocharged

MEDIUM Advised 1/3 Est. 47%

Mr Fox says

Turbocharged (SR:160, 1/3) is the standout ability benchmark in this field — the highest SR by a clear margin, trained by Dan Skelton (22% strike rate, 2,616 runners) and ridden by Harry Skelton (27%, 1,688 runners), one of the most potent combinations in jump racing. The market has reinforced that view with a 20% move in, settling at 1/3. The 225-day absence and unproven trip/going (DistFit:?, GoingFit:?) are the only flags, but a Skelton yard horse returning after a layoff commands respect — they do not run them unready. At Class 4 novice level, an SR of 160 is simply a different class of animal. Each-way alternative: Lunar Trix. Main danger: Lunar Trix — Lunar Trix (SR:159, 2/1) is only a point below Turbocharged on the SR scale, has been heavily backed (Mkt:in61%), and a win last time out suggests she is on a sharp upward trajectory — if Turbocharged is not fully wound up after 225 days off, she is the likeliest beneficiary.
