Mr Fox’s call
Didaar
MEDIUM Advised 5/1 Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Didaar (SR 73, 5/1) is the standout value proposition in a modest Class 5 field. The 13% market steam — the only significant inward move in this race — signals informed money on a horse whose last two runs (71 form figures) show progressive improvement. At 9-7, Didaar carries 6lb less than market-leader Educator (9-13) and 1lb less than King's Castle, giving a genuine weight advantage that matters over 1m4f on Good to Firm. Trainer Gihan Arnolda runs at a solid 19% strike rate, and though jockey Toby Moore (7lb claim) is lightly experienced, the 5lb claim more than compensates on the weights. The GoingFit:~ suggests workable form on this ground rather than a negative, and as a 5-year-old with distance questions unanswered (DistFit:?), the horse is at least unexposed at this trip rather than proven poor over it. Each-way alternative: Revelio. Main danger: Educator — Educator (SR 79, 11/10) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's Good to Firm ground, but the 10% market drift and DistFit:- at 1m4f are genuine concerns — if connections have found a way around the trip issue, the SR edge makes it a real threat.
