Mr Fox’s call
Bleep Test
SPECULATIVE Advised 14/1 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Bleep Test (SR:63, 14/1) is flagged by the single most dramatic market signal in this field: a 45% inward move from opening, suggesting serious stable and market confidence that cannot be ignored. While the SR of 63 is the lowest in the field, connections are clearly bullish — Tim Easterby has deployed blinkers (first use implied by 'b') to sharpen this horse, who has a genuine course record (W1P1 at Redcar) and drops a class. The Easterby yard's two runners here have Bleep Test as the designated market mover (#1 stable signal with the tighter price move), with Bye Law's 15% drift far less dramatic. At 14/1 with a 45% market steam, the implied price discrepancy versus current odds represents real value if the yard move is genuine. Each-way alternative: Masaban. Main danger: French Affair — French Affair (SR:88, 6/4) is the clear class leader in this field — the highest SR by 9 points, dropping a class, and though carrying top-weight of 9-13 and running off a +4 mark, the form string 542461 shows consistent competitive efforts and Jennie Candlish has produced it fresh (10 days since last run) in a small field where the favourite is rarely steamrolled without reason.
