Mr Fox’s call

Lohengrin silks

Lohengrin

SPECULATIVE Advised 5/2 Est. 28%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Lohengrin (SR:50, 5/2) is the market's second choice but carries only 10-5 — 9lb less than top-weight Reponse Finale — and crucially holds the best jockey booking in the race with Colin Keane (16% career strike rate, 2279 runners), the standout rider in this field by some margin. The MarkMv:-9 signals a significant drop from the mark of the last win, giving a genuine handicap edge, and while DistFit and GoingFit are both flagged negative, every runner in this field shares those concerns, making the negatives field-wide noise rather than a specific disadvantage. The form string 000873 shows a '3' most recently — placing at this level — suggesting a horse on an upward curve, and at 5/2 the market is backing the Keane booking hard enough that we should follow. Each-way alternative: Movin And Groovin. Main danger: I'm Spartacus — I'm Spartacus (SR:45, 10/1) is the standout market mover — steaming in 19% — carrying only 10-4 with MarkMv:-5 and a trainer Adrian McGuinness who finds winners from handicap types; that level of late money on a 10/1 shot in a 13-runner field demands respect.
