Halimede
HIGH Advised 3/10 Est. 62%
Mr Fox says
Halimede (SR 75, 3/10) is the standout on every meaningful metric in this tiny 3-runner field. The SR of 75 towers over Prince Achille's 52 and Recobella's 69, and the recent form string 98811 — read right-to-left — shows two consecutive wins going into today, confirming peak current form. Sir Mark Prescott (19% career strike rate, 297 runners) is one of the shrewdest operators in British racing and routinely targets small fields for progressive horses on the way up. At 9-9 Halimede carries only 5lb more than Recobella, a trivial burden given the SR advantage; the 6-day turnaround from Prescott is a deliberate placement, not a concern. Each-way alternative: Recobella. Main danger: Recobella — Recobella (SR 69, 10/3) carries only 9-4, has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, and her form string 352512 shows a place last time — she is a genuine each-way threat who could capitalise if Halimede's quick 6-day turnaround leaves her below peak.
