Willowinghurn

SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 22%

8TH

Mr Fox says

Willowinghurn (SR:60, 9/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field by a clear margin and drops a class (ClassMv:↓1) while also running off a mark 10lb lower than last win (MarkMv:-10), making this a significantly easier opportunity on paper. The David O'Meara/Daniel Tudhope combination is formidable — O'Meara operates at 12% career strike rate from 1,261 runners and Tudhope at 16% from 833, a top-tier pairing for a Class 6 handicap. The visor (HG:v) suggests connections are trying something new to unlock the ability the SR indicates is there, and the 3-year-old's form string 785056 shows modest recent results but those were at a higher class level. The GoingFit:- and DistFit:- are genuine concerns on good-to-firm ground over 7f75y, but at 9/2 this is the clearest SR and class-drop angle in a weak field. Each-way alternative: The New Bay Pearl. Main danger: The New Bay Pearl — The New Bay Pearl (SR:57, 4/1) has steamed in 16% in the market — the strongest inbound move in the field — and while DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are concerns, Simon Whitaker's yard rarely supports a horse this boldly at 4/1 in a Class 6 without reason, and the class drop (ClassMv:↓1) gives it every chance to outrun its modest recent form figures.
