Veil Of Clouds silks

Veil Of Clouds

SPECULATIVE Advised 9/4 Est. 35%

Mr Fox says

Veil Of Clouds (SR 81, 9/4) is the clear SR leader in a Class 5 sprint field where the next-best cluster sits at SR 74-76, and the 7-point gap is meaningful at this level. The recent form reads 52531 — a last-time-out win at the same class and same mark (MarkMv:=), returning quickly after just 11 days which suggests the Crisford yard is confident in the horse's well-being. DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at 6f, and the tongue-tie (HG:t) appears to be working given the improvement to a win last time. The main caveat is GoingFit:? — insufficient sample on good-to-firm — but at 9/4 the SR edge and fresh winning form make this the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Raffles Angel. Main danger: Raffles Angel — Raffles Angel (SR 75, 5/1) has steamed into the market by 40% — the most aggressive move in the field — and while DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are concerns, Hector Crouch's 17% career strike rate and the weight of money suggest connections have a specific angle that the form-book alone doesn't capture.
