Mr Fox’s call
Primo Lara
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 30%
Mr Fox says
Primo Lara (SR 99, 7/2) matches French Duke for the joint-highest SR in the field but carries a significant weight advantage at 8-11 versus French Duke's 9-9 — a 12lb edge that is decisive on good ground over 1m5f. The form string 251141 is the most consistent in the race, showing a recent win and a sequence of placed efforts, and Ryan Moore (24% strike rate, 1,035 career runners) is a top-tier booking that signals yard confidence. A gentle market drift-in of 8% since opening confirms quiet money on the horse despite the step up in class (ClassMv:↑1), and at 7/2 the price still offers value against the joint-SR leader who is drifting the other way with a higher mark (+5) and only moderate distance evidence (DistFit:?). Each-way alternative: Insanity. Main danger: French Duke — French Duke (SR 99, 3/1) has steamed in 17% to become market favourite, carries only 2lb more than Primo Lara despite matching the SR, and Callum Rodriguez (20% strike rate) on a horse with course form (W0P1) for a trainer showing 20% from 244 runners suggests this yard knows it has a live chance.
