Mr Fox’s call
Narrjoo
MEDIUM Advised 10/11 Est. 42%
Mr Fox says
Narrjoo (SR 156, 10/11) leads the field on ability by a clear margin — 4 points clear of Drum Bay (SR 152) and 5 clear of Isabella De Vega (SR 151) — and crucially carries level weights at 9-7 with no disadvantage on the scale. The market has sharpened 11% since opening, signalling informed money, and the Crisford yard operates at 20% strike rate from 334 runners, representing one of the stronger handler profiles in this field. A second on debut is a solid foundation for a 2yo stepping up at a well-managed yard; the move to 7f80y at Ffos Las is a reasonable progression and the DistFit:? simply reflects an absence of prior data rather than an established weakness. The combination of top SR, market confidence, elite trainer strike rate and no weight disadvantage makes this a clear selection. Each-way alternative: Drum Bay. Main danger: Isabella De Vega — Isabella De Vega (SR 151, 9/2) carries a 5lb weight advantage at 9-2 versus the field's 9-7, and while she has drifted 40% in the market her SR is the third-highest in the race and the lighter weight on good ground is a tangible physical edge if Narrjoo underperforms.
