Mr Fox’s call
Broadway Honey
MEDIUM Advised 8/11 SP 4/5F Est. 52%
Mr Fox says
Broadway Honey (SR:109, 8/11) is the clear class standout in a modest five-runner field, holding a 9-point SR advantage over the next-best runner (Carrigmoorna Rowan, SR:100). The form string -55131 shows a horse in excellent recent nick — three finishes in the top three from the last four completed runs, with a win last time out at the same class (ClassMv:=) on the same mark (MarkMv:=). Running just three days after a recent outing is worth noting but Sam Twiston-Davies retains the ride, suggesting connections are happy with the horse's wellbeing, and trainer Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies at 12% strike rate from 245 runners is solid if unspectacular. GoingFit:~ (moderate on good) is the only minor concern but is far from a dealbreaker given the SR edge and form consistency. Each-way alternative: Carrigmoorna Rowan. Main danger: Carrigmoorna Rowan — Dropping in class by one tier (ClassMv:↓1) with a massive 19lb reduction in mark since its last win (MarkMv:-19) gives Carrigmoorna Rowan a significant handicap-weight advantage that could flatter its moderate recent form if Broadway Honey is feeling the effects of racing just three days ago.
