Mr Fox’s call
Bollengo Boy
MEDIUM Advised 3/1 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Bollengo Boy (SR:60, 3/1, 9-7) is the standout pick. Despite a modest form string of 876 in what appears to be higher-class company, he drops two class tiers today into a weak Class 6 nursery and has steamed in 24% in the market — the money is clearly on. Eve Johnson Houghton runs at a solid 12% strike rate from 658 runners, and Charles Bishop (9%, 757 runners) is a reliable AW pilot. At 9-7, he carries a manageable weight in a field where the SR leader (Lushill, 66) is trained by a 5% yard, runs 6 days after last race, and carries the stable 'number two' jockey flag (Millie Wonnacott, 9%) while stablemate Magical Life gets the superior David Egan booking — though Magical Life's own form (054543) and 67% drift undermine that yard's chances entirely. Bollengo Boy's combination of class drop, market support, and quality connections makes him the pick in a weak heat. Each-way alternative: Ten Of Clubs. Main danger: Lushill — Lushill holds the field's highest SR (66), drops two class tiers, and at 9/2 represents the yard's second string — but only 6 days between runs and a 5% trainer strike rate are real concerns that could be overcome by raw ability alone in this weak heat.
