Billy Bathgate

SPECULATIVE Advised 13/2 Est. 28%

5TH

Mr Fox says

Billy Bathgate (SR:53, 13/2) is the highest-rated horse in this weak Class 6 field and brings the standout course record of W1P4 at Wolverhampton — course specialists on AW tracks have a proven edge and five visits here already show he handles this track. The market has steamed in 20% since opening, the strongest positive market move in the field, signalling informed confidence. Clifford Lee (17% career SR) is a capable booking and 9-12 is not an onerous weight burden given the opposition. The moderate DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ are the main caveats, but with a +2 mark move he is still competitive off his current mark and his SR of 53 comfortably leads the field. Each-way alternative: D Day Major Winter. Main danger: D Day Major Winter — D Day Major Winter (SR:50, 11/4) is the market favourite with a top trainer-jockey combination in James Owen (19%) and Cieren Fallon (18%), and at only 4 years old has more improvement potential than the older runners, making him the most likely alternative winner despite the DistFit:? flag at this trip.
