🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Twilight Calls (SR 106, 5/1) is the standout on ability — the highest SR in the field by 7 points — and arrives in peak form with a recent 1-1-2 sequence including two wins on the bounce (Form:861211, rightmost = last run). Carrying 9-3, the weight is manageable for the class leader, and the ★★★★☆ AI star rating combined with a 16% market shortening confirms that informed money is backing the form. Course:W1P1 at Doncaster adds course familiarity, and while GoingFit is only moderate (~), the horse has been winning on similar ground recently. The main caveat is age (8) and a mark 4lb higher than at last win, but the current form trajectory overrides those concerns. Each-way alternative: Toca Madera. Main danger: Toca Madera — Toca Madera (SR 99, 13/2) has steamed in 40% in the market — the biggest move in the field — carries only 9-4, has course form (W1P1 at Doncaster), and O'Meara/Tudhope is a potent combination that rarely fires this big a market move without strong stable confidence.
