Mr Fox’s call
Law Court
SPECULATIVE Advised 10/3 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Law Court (SR 103, 10/3) is the clear class leader in this field — a full 9 points clear of the next-best runners at SR 94 — and carries a favourable 9-0, giving him a significant weight edge over the top-weights Auld Toon Loon and King's Code (both 10-2). The market has backed him in 27% since opening, the strongest steaming move in the race bar Auld Toon Loon, and his form string -22129 shows consistent competitiveness at this level; the recent 9 is a blot but the prior 2-2-1 sequence suggests ability is not in question. As a 3-year-old dropping into a Class 3 handicap at 1m2f, the weight-for-age allowance compresses his effective burden further, and Richard Hannon's yard operates at 13% strike rate across a vast sample of 1,259 runners, giving trainer confidence. Each-way alternative: Auld Toon Loon. Main danger: Auld Toon Loon — Auld Toon Loon (SR 93, 9/2) has steamed in 33% — the joint-strongest market move in the race — carries course form of W1P2 at Windsor, drops a class, and the 1-8378 form string's rightmost digit of 8 hides a recent win (the '1' two runs ago) suggesting a horse finding form; connections clearly fancy this.
