Mr Fox’s call

Masked Man

SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 28%

Mr Fox says

Masked Man (SR:134, 7/2) is the joint-highest-rated horse in the field and carries a manageable 10-12, giving him a meaningful weight advantage over Wellington Arch (SR:132, 11-10). He has course form (W1P1 at Chepstow), a confirmed GoingFit:+ for today's good-to-soft ground, and the market has shortened 8% — quiet but meaningful confidence from connections. His form string /1219- shows a recent ninth that needs explaining but prior to that he won twice, and at age 5 he is the most progressive horse in the race. J J Slevin (13%, 1,129 career rides) is a quality booking for the Twiston-Davies yard, and crucially his stablemate Glynn Brae has drifted 34% so the yard's money is clearly on Masked Man. Each-way alternative: Daylatedollarshort. Main danger: Daylatedollarshort — Daylatedollarshort (SR:134, 11/2) matches Masked Man on rating, carries 3lb less at 10-7, has a DistFit:+ at this trip, a form string of 24112- showing back-to-back wins before a placed run, Sean Bowen in the saddle (24%, 2,395 rides), and has shortened 15% in the market — a serious weight-and-form threat.
