Malton Marquees Novices' Handicap Steeple Chase
Mr Fox’s call
Whitewinewednesday
MEDIUM Advised 4/9 Est. 58%
Mr Fox says
Whitewinewednesday (SR 95) is comfortably the highest-rated horse in this six-runner Class 5 novice handicap, with a 9-point gap over the next-best Walk In The Valley (SR 86). The form line 470-P1 shows a last-time-out win just 9 days ago, confirming peak fitness heading into today. Dan Skelton runs at a 22% career strike rate with 2,562 runners — a high-volume, high-quality operation — and the jockey booking of Mr P W Mullins at a remarkable 33% strike rate from 470 rides is a serious positive. Despite carrying top-weight of 12-0, the SR superiority over rivals carrying similar or lighter loads is decisive, and the 4/9 market price — albeit short — reflects a horse the market has no doubt about. Each-way alternative: Walk In The Valley. Main danger: Walk In The Valley — Walk In The Valley (SR 86) is the second-rated horse in the field, carries 1lb less than the selection at 11-13, and has a form line showing a recent placed effort — though the 59% market drift is a concern, at 6/1 there is each-way value if the selection underperforms on the good ground.
