Berry Edge silks

Berry Edge

SPECULATIVE Advised 9/4 Est. 32%

Mr Fox says

Berry Edge (SR:94, 9/4) holds the highest Saturday Rating in the field by a clear margin over nearest rivals Reteti (SR:92) and Mayday Games (SR:89), and carries a very manageable 10-13 — a full 3-0 below top-weight. The Skelton yard operates at 21% career strike rate with Harry Skelton aboard at 27%, comfortably the strongest trainer-jockey combination in this Class 5 field. The market has shortened 12% since opening, indicating informed money backing this selection, and the form string 95313- shows a consistent recent run of competitive efforts culminating in a win and two placed finishes. The 2m70y trip on Good to Firm at Stratford is unproven (DistFit:?) but a horse of this SR calibre should not be undone by a standard summer hurdles trip. Each-way alternative: Mayday Games. Main danger: Mayday Games — Mayday Games (SR:89, 11/2) has shortened 21% in the market, holds Course:W1P1 at Stratford, carries only 11-6 versus Berry Edge's 10-13 (still a 7lb concession), and the recent form includes a win — if the market move reflects stable confidence this is the horse most likely to upset.
