Mr Fox’s call

Have You A Minute silks

Have You A Minute

SPECULATIVE Advised 8/1 Est. 22%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Have You A Minute (SR:57, 8/1) arrives dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) off a mark that has dropped 1lb since last win (MarkMv:-1), and crucially the market has steamed in 36% — the strongest market move in the entire field by a considerable margin. At 8/1 with that level of money arriving, connections clearly have confidence. The trainer Tom Tate has a 16% strike rate from a small but meaningful 25-runner sample, and jockey Hector Crouch (18% career SR, 808 rides) is a high-quality booking that underlines yard intent. The form line 1560-9 shows a winning profile, and dropping a class makes the recent 9 (last run) easier to excuse after a layoff of 61 days — the money coming in strongly suggests the horse is fit and ready. Each-way alternative: Barleybrown. Main danger: Heretic — Heretic (SR:59, 13/2) carries the highest SR among the leading contenders, has also steamed in 18% matching Barleybrown for market confidence, and a last-run second (form:438732) shows a sharp return to form — the 66-day break is the only real doubt.
