Mr Fox’s call
Box Clever
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 SP 7/2 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Box Clever (SR 74, 7/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field by a clear margin and carries a manageable 9-9, giving it a 2lb edge over Footstepsinthewoods (SR 70) and a 12lb edge over the topweight comparison point. Crucially, it holds a Course:W1P1 record at Salisbury — a specialist track that regularly rewards course form — and a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm surface, the only runner in the field with a proven advantage on the going. The market has backed it in 7% since opening, adding confident money to a horse that already carries the strongest ability signal. Form of 3-2903 shows a recent blank (the '0') but the '3' prior and overall profile for a 3yo at Class 5 on a track it has won at before makes this the clearest case in the race. Each-way alternative: Violet Goldsmith. Main danger: Footstepsinthewoods — Footstepsinthewoods (SR 70) won last time out (form ending in '1'), is trained by Emma Lavelle at a 15% strike rate with Sean Levey aboard, and carries only 9-5 — 4lb below Box Clever — which could offset the step up in class if that recent win signals a horse on the upgrade.
