Mr Fox’s call
Uncle Al
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Uncle Al (SR:84, 9/2) is the standout value pick driven by an exceptional market move — steaming in 47% from opening price, the most emphatic market support in the field by a wide margin. Running off a mark just 1lb above last win (MarkMv:+1), carrying a light 10-5, and posting a recent form line of -UP163 that shows a third and a win in the last two completions. Trainer Jessica Bedi has a modest 6% strike rate but the money pouring in suggests connections are supremely confident. The 13-day turnaround is tight but clearly not a concern for the yard, and the same-class entry means no step up in quality to navigate. Each-way alternative: Jeteye. Main danger: Jeteye — Jeteye (SR:97, 11/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field and showed a last-time-out win on its recent 6-1431 form line with confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground, meaning raw ability could override the 11% market drift if it settles and jumps cleanly.
