Mr Fox’s call
Easter Icon
SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Easter Icon (SR 107, 5/2) carries the lightest competitive weight at 11-3 and arrives off a recent win (form: 054B-1) with 13% market support since opening — the money is coming in for a reason. Course form of W1P1 at Fontwell is a concrete positive in a small field, and jockey Isabelle Ryder boasts a strong 19% career strike rate. Yes, it steps up one class (ClassMv:↑1) and carries a mark 8lb higher than its last win (MarkMv:+8), but the class of this race is modest and the weight advantage over top-weight Kom Tu Voudras (11-9) is meaningful on good ground over 2m5f. Each-way alternative: Kom Tu Voudras. Main danger: Kom Tu Voudras — Kom Tu Voudras (SR 108, 2/1) is the highest-rated runner and has Harry Cobden — a 21% striker — in the saddle, and despite drifting 14% the combination of top SR and elite jockey booking makes it a persistent threat, particularly if the recent fall (F in latest form) proves a one-off rather than a pattern.

Winner: Kom Tu Voudras (FR) at SP 7/2. Mr Fox’s picks highlighted in gold.
