Mr Fox’s call

Musical Soldier

SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 32%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Musical Soldier (SR:84, 5/2) is the standout ability horse in this field — an SR of 84 is meaningfully clear of the next-best Mojito (SR:77) and Dandy G Boy (SR:75). The recent form of 221112 is excellent: four wins or places from the last six, including a win on the latest start just 8 days ago, showing peak fitness. Billy Loughnane's 19% career strike rate on 1,856 rides is the best jockey booking in the race, and trainer Ollie Sangster fires at 13%. The key concern is the MarkMv:+6 — running off a mark 6lb higher than the last win — and a ClassMv:↑1, so connections are asking more of the horse; but the raw SR advantage and recent momentum make this the most compelling case in the field. Each-way alternative: Bundok. Main danger: Mojito — Mojito (SR:77, 5/1) has steamed in 40% in the market — the biggest move in the field — with David Egan booked at 15% strike rate, suggesting strong stable confidence despite a DistFit:- concern, and at 5/1 represents the market's clearest challenger to the selection.
