Mr Fox’s call
Crowned
MEDIUM Advised 9/4 SP 2/1F Est. 35%
Mr Fox says
Crowned (SR:78, 9/4) is the clear class leader in this field — at 78 SR he sits 8 points clear of the next-best runner From Me To You (70) and is the only horse with a three-figure-plus implied ability gap over the majority of the field. The market has backed that assessment emphatically, steaming in 31% since opening, and he carries 10-1 but tops the SR rankings — a manageable weight burden for the quality he brings. His form string of 345221 shows a progressive juvenile peaking at the right time, with the rightmost '21' indicating a win and a runner-up last time, and he returns quickly (7 days) which for a 2yo nursery suggests connections are targeting this spot with full confidence. Course form of W1P1 at Southwell confirms he handles the Fibresand/AW surface, an important filter in a field where most rivals carry DistFit:? and GoingFit:? or GoingFit:-. Each-way alternative: From Me To You. Main danger: From Me To You — From Me To You (SR:70, 4/1) has steamed in 27% and Richard Hannon's booking of a conditional jockey for a specific targeted ride at 4/1 implies yard confidence, while the 604063 form string contains a '6' last time that may flatter to deceive on different going — but the market support is too strong to ignore as a danger.
