Mr Fox’s call
Encore
MEDIUM Advised 7/4 SP 1/2F Est. 42%
Mr Fox says
Encore (SR 156, 7/4) is the clear class standout in this novice field, carrying a SR advantage of 7 points over the next-best Mystic Veil (SR 149) and 8 over Astronette (SR 148). Trained by William Haggas, the strongest handler in the race at 23% career strike rate, and a form line of 5-2 shows consistent recent improvement. The market has remained confident at 7/4 and has not drifted, unlike Astronette (out 39%) and Mystic Veil (out 11%), which both show market rejection despite reasonable SRs. Weight at 9-4 is manageable and only marginally higher than the 9-2 carried by the 3-year-olds, and against a field of maidens and lightly-raced fillies, Encore's experience and proven ability at SR 156 makes this a straightforward selection. Each-way alternative: Mystic Veil. Main danger: Astronette — Astronette (SR 148) is saddled by Oisin Murphy at 22% career strike rate — the strongest jockey in the field — and despite drifting 39% in the market, an unexposed maiden with that level of ability and that rider booking cannot be entirely dismissed if she has improved since her last run.
