Mr Fox’s call
Lovely Jubly
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Lovely Jubly (SR 63, 7/2) is the clear SR leader in this Class 6 apprentice handicap by a meaningful margin — 2 points clear of Knightmare (SR 61) and 3 ahead of Ocean Force (SR 60). The form string 0168-1 shows a last-time-out win, making this a horse in current form and capable of improving off a mark only 5lb higher than that success. Trainer Michael Attwater hits 9% overall and jockey Owen Lewis (11% strike rate from 126 rides) is solid for an apprentice. Critically, Lovely Jubly has a course record of W1P1 at Kempton — a genuine course specialist edge over most of this field — and carries 9-9, a manageable weight that does not penalise against rivals rated significantly lower. Each-way alternative: Knightmare. Main danger: Knightmare — Knightmare (SR 61, 15/2) has placed in five of its last six starts including two wins and three seconds — relentless consistency that rivals Lovely Jubly's SR, and though it has drifted 20% in the market, the record at this class level is hard to dismiss entirely.
