Mr Fox’s call
Saxon Grace
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/4 SP 6/5F Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Saxon Grace (SR:62, 5/4) is the clear class leader in this field by SR margin — a 6-point gap over the next-best Dumfries (SR:56) — and that advantage is amplified by a favourable weight of 9-8, sitting below top-weight Dumfries (9-12). The recent form of 464031 shows a last-time-out win just 5 days ago, indicating peak condition right now. Trainer Daragh Bourke has a respectable 9% strike rate from a small yard (47 runners), and jockey Shane Gray (11%) maintains consistent booking, suggesting connections are confident. While GoingFit and DistFit are both unknown quantities (?), the SR dominance and fresh winning form override those uncertainties in a Class 6 field of this quality. Each-way alternative: Dumfries. Main danger: Dumfries — Dumfries (SR:56, 4/1) has an outstanding Course:W2P2 record at Beverley, a GoingFit:+ on today's good to firm ground, has steamed in 19% in the market, and drops a class — that combination of course specialist form and market confidence makes it the most credible threat to Saxon Grace.
