Tanjen

SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 28%

🥉 3RD

Mr Fox says

Tanjen (SR:69, 5/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and combines that ability advantage with course form (W1P1 at Hamilton), a market that has shortened 12% since opening, and a same-mark return meaning no weight penalty for recent success. The Tim Easterby/David Allan combination posts an 11% jockey strike rate across 906 rides — a reliable booking — and the recent 597751 form string shows a last-time-out win that is the most relevant piece of recent evidence. Weight at 9-9 is very manageable for the field's best SR, giving a clear lbs edge over the top two weights. The GoingFit is unknown rather than negative, so there is no hard evidence the Good to Soft surface will be a problem. Each-way alternative: Harb. Main danger: Harb — Harb (SR:65, 7/2) has steamed in 33% since opening — the most dramatic market move in the race — carries a light 9-9, holds a MarkMv:-2 advantage, and trainer Tristan Davidson runs at an 18% strike rate from 133 runners, making this the most professionally backed challenger to Tanjen.
