Mr Fox’s call
High Calibre
MEDIUM Advised 10/3 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
High Calibre (SR:73, 10/3) is dropping two class tiers and has been backed in 13% from its opening price — the sharpest market move in this field and the only genuine steamer. Richard Hannon (13%, 1,236 runners) is a high-volume trainer who uses class drops purposefully, and a consistent 5-6-6 form string at higher levels suggests this race is well within reach. Carrying 9-2 puts it level with three rivals and 7lb below the favourite, a meaningful weight advantage on good-to-firm ground. The combination of class relief, market confidence, and the weight edge makes this the most compelling case despite modest SR. Each-way alternative: Lord Ragnar. Main danger: Lord Ragnar — Lord Ragnar (SR:87, 6/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field, proven at today's distance (DistFit:+), and has Billy Loughnane booked — a jockey whose 18% strike rate over 1,694 rides commands respect — even though the 10% drift is a concern, the raw SR advantage and course-distance fit make it the most natural threat.
