Mr Fox’s call
Musical Soldier
MEDIUM Advised 8/11 Est. 52%
Mr Fox says
Musical Soldier (SR 79, 8/11) is the clear standout in this five-runner Class 6 handicap. The SR of 79 dwarfs the next-best rival (Paranjape at 66) by 13 points — a significant gap at this level — and crucially the form string 022111 shows a three-race winning streak culminating just 7 days ago, indicating peak fitness. Both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm this horse is tailor-made for today's conditions at Lingfield AW (Good), and Course:W1P1 underlines course familiarity. At 9-11 under a ClassMv:= and MarkMv:=, connections are not over-burdening the horse, and the tp headgear has clearly been working. Each-way alternative: Heir Of Ambition. Main danger: Heir Of Ambition — Heir Of Ambition (SR 55, 6/1) drops two class tiers (ClassMv:↓2), has an 8% market move in, and with DistFit:? and GoingFit:? the unknown quantities at this trip and going could allow a well-handicapped improver to outperform expectations on a much easier mark.
