Mr Fox’s call
Dialstone
HIGH Advised 4/6 Est. 52%
Mr Fox says
Dialstone (SR 158, 4/6) is in a different league to this field — an SR of 158 is top-class on the 0-200 scale, and the next-best runner is Anncanya at SR 143, a 15-point gap that is enormous in a Class 4 novice. Ralph Beckett (17% strike rate, 949 runners) is a serious trainer booking Rossa Ryan (16%, 1445 runners), a high-quality combination that routinely targets winnable opportunities. The horse drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), has run twice recently with a form line of 22 — consistent placed efforts that confirm readiness — and at 4/6 the market has made its verdict clear with high confidence. The only caveat is the 15% drift on Devil's Brigade, which is reassuring as that was the main market rival. Each-way alternative: Anncanya. Main danger: Anncanya — Anncanya (SR 143) has steamed in 10% in the market, carries the lightest weight at 9-0, and Marco Ghiani (14% strike rate) is a capable booking — if Dialstone underperforms on the AW debut, Anncanya is best placed to capitalise.
