SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 38%

🥈 2ND

Mr Fox says

Awwjaan (SR 157, 7/2) is the standout on multiple converging signals. The market has steamed in by 31% — the most decisive move in this field — reflecting strong informed confidence from the Ed Walker yard. She has already run and posted an SR of 157, the highest in the race by a clear margin, stepping down a class from her debut. Claudette (SR 155, evens) is the only horse with comparable ability but has drifted 6% from opening and her debut fifth-place finish is a notably weaker starting point than Awwjaan's second, particularly given that Awwjaan now drops in class with market backing. Four debutantes at 66/1, 100/1, 15/2, and 16/1 without any race evidence simply cannot be preferred over a proven, improving filly with this level of support. Each-way alternative: Dawn Chorus. Main danger: Claudette — Claudette holds an SR of 155 from a debut fifth — form that may be highly compressed in a large field — trained by the in-form Gosden yard (24% strike rate) and as the even-money market leader she commands respect, even if the 6% drift is a mild negative signal.
