Mr Fox’s call
Law of Design
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/2 Est. 28%
Mr Fox says
Law of Design (SR:71, 9/2) combines the most compelling cluster of signals in this field. The 27% market move in — the sharpest steamer in the race — is a strong hands-on signal from connections who clearly fancy their chances. Dropping three class tiers (ClassMv:↓3) is a massive advantage over rivals running at the same level, and at 9-8 the weight is very manageable. The visor headgear and Ian Williams booking Paul Mulrennan (14% strike rate, 2,372 runners of experience) rather than a claimer strongly suggests this is the yard's intended winner over stablemate Just Typical, who carries the apprentice-friendly tp headgear and a lesser jockey booking. The DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are the main caveats, but the class drop and market confidence outweigh those concerns in a Class 5 handicap at this level. Each-way alternative: Blue Boy Junior. Main danger: Blue Boy Junior — Blue Boy Junior (SR:74, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field, drops a class tier, and carries only 9-8 — if the unknown DistFit and GoingFit prove favourable on the day, its raw SR advantage could override Law of Design's market edge.
