🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Wise And Wonderful (SR 85, 15/8) carries the highest rating in this five-runner nursery and arrives off a steep ClassMv:↓3 drop, meaning this is a much easier assignment than recent outings. The Course:W1P1 record at Epsom is a concrete advantage on this tricky track where familiarity counts, and Andrew Balding's 19% strike rate with David Probert aboard a market leader is a reliable combination. The 0 on the end of the form string is the last run, which warrants attention, but MarkMv:+2 is a modest rise and the class relief at this level should absorb it; the horse remains the class standout by SR margin. Each-way alternative: Bincimbal. Main danger: Greek Symphony — Greek Symphony (SR 89, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has a DistFit:+ record at this trip with a recent third last run, though the 15% market drift and quick five-day turnaround are legitimate concerns.
