Mr Fox’s call
Mythological Star
MEDIUM Advised 4/5 SP 2/1F Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Mythological Star (SR 84, 4/5) leads the field on ability and arrives on a strong form line of 8-3-3-1, with the last-time-out win suggesting a progressive 3-year-old hitting its stride. The market has firmed 10% since opening, reflecting genuine confidence from connections, and at 9-8 it carries the lightest weight in the field — a real advantage in a competitive Class 5 handicap on good-to-firm ground. The Kubler yard operates at a solid 15% strike rate, and the DistFit:? simply reflects insufficient prior evidence at 1m2f rather than a proven failure — as a lightly-raced improver stepping up, the distance unknown is a manageable risk, not a disqualifier. The SR advantage of 2lb over Shady Bay (SR 82) combined with a 5lb weight concession advantage makes this a clear case. Each-way alternative: Shady Bay. Main danger: Shady Bay — Shady Bay (SR 82) has proven distance and going credentials (DistFit:+ GoingFit:+), a 6% market move in its favour, and drops a class — the combination of course place form at Windsor and confirmed suitability to today's conditions makes it the most credible threat to the jolly.
