Mr Fox’s call
Dappled Light
SPECULATIVE Advised 17/2 Est. 26%
Mr Fox says
Dappled Light (SR 72, 17/2) is the Adrian Wintle yard's #1 runner — Gelato has drifted 56% and carries a much inferior SR of 50, while Dappled Light has shortened 12% in the market, a clear signal of stable confidence. The form string -71122 shows consistent recent placing with two consecutive wins before a close second last time, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at this trip. Carrying 9-4 — lighter than the top two — it has a weight advantage over Bella Bisbee and Lerwick on similar marks. The one concern is GoingFit:~ rather than +, but good ground is far from alien and the market move overrides that mild reservation. Each-way alternative: The Stone Power. Main danger: The Stone Power — The Stone Power (SR 74, 11/4) leads the field on Saturday Rating, holds DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ — the only runner ticking both boxes — and has course form (W1P1), with Ralph Beckett's 17% strike rate the best in the field; the market drift of 8% is the one nagging doubt.
