Mr Fox’s call
Decalogue
SPECULATIVE Advised 3/1 SP 11/4F Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Decalogue (SR:77, 3/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has attracted significant market support — shortening 11% since opening — which is a meaningful signal in a Class 5 handicap. Carrying 9-9, his weight is manageable relative to his SR advantage, and at age 3 with recent form 6-8432 he is showing progressive signs of improvement from last-time-out (a 2 reading, the best in his recent sequence). Trainer Jamie Osborne (12% strike rate, 921 runners) and jockey William Carver provide a competent booking. The DistFit:- is a concern over the mile, but the market's confidence and the SR lead over every rival make him the standout selection. Each-way alternative: Bird Of War. Main danger: Bird Of War — Bird Of War (SR:73, 10/3) is the second-highest-rated runner, travels on a lighter weight of 9-3 (a 6lb advantage over Decalogue), is trained by Charles Hills (15% strike rate) with Kieran Shoemark aboard (14%), and while the MarkMv:+7 and ClassMv:↑1 are negatives, his raw SR and favourable weight could easily see him overpower Decalogue if today's step up in class proves within his scope.
