Mr Fox’s call
Huckleberry Sting
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 SP 11/10F Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Huckleberry Sting (SR:94, 5/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and the only runner with confirmed positive going fit (GoingFit:+) on today's good ground, a critical edge in a field where four rivals carry GoingFit:- and two are unknown. Course:W1P1 at Market Rasen is tangible specialist form, and the trainer T Ellis runs at 20% strike rate from just 30 runners — a sharp, selective yard — while jockey Jack Andrews hits 23% career winners. The form string 1-2312 shows consistent competitiveness at this level, and carrying 11-6 is fair for the SR advantage held. The MarkMv:+8 is the one caution — running off 8lb higher than the last win mark — but the class (Class 5) and going suitability make this manageable. Each-way alternative: Ribeye. Main danger: Ribeye — Ribeye (SR:91, 5/1) has steamed in 38% in the market — the sharpest move in the field — suggesting significant stable confidence, and while GoingFit:? and DistFit:? leave questions, that level of market support at 5/1 on an 11-year-old demands respect.
