Mr Fox’s call
Mancero
SPECULATIVE Advised 9/4 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Mancero (SR:85, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and carries a manageable 12-0, the joint-heaviest weight but shared with Camino Rocio whose SR:76 is nine points inferior. The 41P218 form string shows recent competitiveness and the visor (HG:v) suggests connections are targeting a performance. Sean Bowen (24% career strike rate, 2348 runners) is a top-tier booking that adds significant confidence, and while the going and distance are both unproven (GoingFit:~, DistFit:?), an absence of a negative reading is meaningfully different from a confirmed negative. The MarkMv:+6 is a modest concern but the SR gap over the rest of the field is the dominant signal here. Each-way alternative: French Diablo. Main danger: French Diablo — French Diablo (SR:82, 2/1) has steamed in 30% in the market — the most pronounced move in the field — David Bass is a reliable booking, and while going and distance are unproven rather than negative, connections' confidence is being loudly expressed through the market.
