Mr Fox’s call
Reponse Finale
SPECULATIVE Advised 11/4 SP 6/4F Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Reponse Finale (SR:58, 11/4) is the highest-rated horse in this modest 17-runner handicap and carries a competitive 9-3, giving it a meaningful weight advantage over the likes of Angel Of Promise (9-13) and Famous Enough (9-11). The mark has dropped 2lb since last win (MarkMv:-2), which is a direct handicapper concession in its favour, and the market has firmed 6% since opening — the money is moving towards this horse in a race where most rivals are drifting. The jockey booking of Robert Whearty for Gavin Cromwell (9% strike rate, 1371 runners — a proven handler) adds further confidence. The GoingFit:- is a concern on good ground, but with a DistFit:? (insufficient sample rather than a proven negative), this is more unknown than established weakness, and on raw SR it leads the field comfortably. Each-way alternative: Famous Enough. Main danger: Famous Enough — Famous Enough (SR:56, 9/2) carries proven DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ credentials — the only runner with confirmed course-and-going suitability — and at 9-11 carries less than Angel Of Promise while a 12% trainer strike rate for Foley at a small yard suggests confidence.
