Mr Fox’s call

Arnaz silks

Arnaz

SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 28%

6TH

Mr Fox says

Arnaz carries the highest SR in the field at 70 off a light 9-3, and his form string 787811 shows two consecutive wins to arrive here in peak condition. At 5/2 the market is confident, and a 6% market shortening confirms money is still coming. The concern is DistFit:- and GoingFit:- on today's good ground over 5f215y, but at 5 years old with back-to-back wins his current momentum is the strongest signal in the race. Billy Loughnane (19% strike rate, 1774 career rides) is a high-quality booking and completes a compelling multi-signal case. Each-way alternative: Prefer The Sister. Main danger: Secret Handsheikh — Secret Handsheikh (SR:67, 6/1) posted a last-time-out win off form 387151, holds Course:W1P3 at Brighton, and has shortened 6% in the market — three aligning signals that make it the most credible alternative to Arnaz despite the step up four class tiers.
