Mr Fox’s call
Wannabe Sporty
SPECULATIVE Advised 8/1 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Wannabe Sporty (SR:100, 8/1) has steamed in 42% from its opening price — by far the most significant market move in this field and a signal that connections and informed money are highly confident despite a blank form string. At 4yo carrying 11-0 on good ground over 2m in a bumper, the weight is manageable and the age profile is ideal for a first-time-out bumper type. The SR of 100 is second only to Delulu and Spanish Darling and meaningfully above the rest. Martin Keighley strikes at 14% (361 runners) and Freddie Keighley at 11% — a yard comfortable running debutants and a booking that makes sense for a horse they clearly fancy. The 42% market move is not noise; it is the defining signal in a race where all distance and going records are unknown. Each-way alternative: Megatothemax. Main danger: Delulu — Delulu (SR:112, 11/10) is the highest-rated runner in the field, trained by Dan Skelton (22% career SR, 2503 runners) and ridden by Harry Skelton (27%) — the most powerful handler-jockey combination on the card — and its course form (W0P1 at Worcester) shows it has already handled this track.
