Mr Fox’s call

Nazario silks

Nazario

SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 32%

7TH

Mr Fox says

Nazario (SR:74, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries a manageable 9-10, giving him a meaningful weight advantage over top-weight Barbapapa (SR:73, 10-4) — 8lb lighter for essentially the same ability level. The market has moved emphatically in his favour, shortening 37% since opening, which is the most aggressive market move in the entire field and signals strong informed confidence. His GoingFit:+ confirms he handles this good AW surface well, and trainer J.P. Murtagh (11% strike rate) booking Ben Coen (11% strike rate) is a strong connections pairing. His form of -44748 shows consistency without a win recently, but the class, weight, and market signals all converge here. Each-way alternative: Barbapapa. Main danger: Barbapapa — Barbapapa (SR:73) matches Nazario on ability, has a course record of W3P6 at Dundalk which is the best course form in the field, and has shortened 16% in the market — the weight burden at 10-4 is the only real concern, but his Dundalk specialisation could overcome it.
