Mr Fox’s call
Walking On Clouds
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 26%
Mr Fox says
Walking On Clouds (SR 67, 9/2) is the clear SR leader in this Class 6 field and carries a workable 9-7 — not a punishing burden. The form string 953171 shows a recent win and the horse brings Course:W1P2 at Lingfield, which is a meaningful edge on an AW specialist track where course knowledge matters. Trainer Chelsea Banham hits 13% strike rate from 131 runners — strong for this level — and Joey Haynes, while modest in overall stats, is paired with a horse the yard clearly knows well. The slight 9% market drift is a mild concern, but with a MarkMv:+3 it is not absurdly hammered up in the weights, and the combination of top SR, course form, and recent winning run makes this the most compelling case in the field. Each-way alternative: Von Krolock. Main danger: My Mate Kev — My Mate Kev (SR 61, 11/4) has steamed in 25% in the market — the strongest move in the race — and jockey Marco Ghiani hits 14% career strike rate from 873 rides; the money is clearly informed even if the DistFit:- flag and 91-day absence give pause.
