Mr Fox’s call
Sweetwonderfulyou
SPECULATIVE Advised 8/11 SP 4/6F Est. 42%
Mr Fox says
Sweetwonderfulyou leads on SR (158) — the highest in the field — and is trained by William Haggas, whose 21% career strike rate is comfortably the best among the four trainers here. Tom Marquand (13%, 1,121 runners) is a reliable booking and the market has installed this filly as a well-backed 8/11 favourite, reflecting genuine confidence from connections. The form figure of '3' on debut is solid — third on a first run from a Haggas yard that routinely improves horses markedly second time out, with all weights level at 9-2 removing any burden concern. The only hesitation is the step into Class 3 (ClassMv:=) and the modest GoingFit/DistFit samples common to all runners — this is an open novice — but the SR edge, trainer quality, and market speak clearly. Each-way alternative: Isabella De Vega. Main danger: Isabella De Vega — Isabella De Vega (SR 154, 10/3) is trained by Ed Walker (15% strike rate) and ridden by Oisin Murphy (21%, 1,305 runners — the sharpest jockey in the race), running off the same class mark as last time; her debut third leaves clear room for improvement and Murphy's involvement at short odds suggests the stable fancies her chances.
