Mr Fox’s call
Tredegar Square
MEDIUM Advised 11/8 Est. 38%
Mr Fox says
Tredegar Square (SR 154, 11/8) is the joint-highest rated horse in the field and the only runner with proven course form (Course:W1P1 at Kempton AW), which is a significant edge in a novice where trip and surface unfamiliarity can catch horses out. Oisin Murphy at 22% career strike rate is the strongest jockey booking in the race, partnering a James Fanshawe horse that wins 18% of its runners — a formidable combination. Alberich matches the SR at 154 and has been backed (Mkt:in7%), making it the genuine danger, but it carries 4lb less than Tredegar Square which narrows the weight advantage; crucially, Tredegar Square's course form is a concrete differentiator Alberich cannot match. The 63-day gap is a minor query but Fanshawe is a trainer who prepares horses carefully and the market at 11/8 shows no concern. Each-way alternative: Alberich. Main danger: Alberich — Alberich matches Tredegar Square's SR of 154, has been backed (Mkt:in7%), and carries 4lb less in weight — if this is a horse still on the upgrade, the lighter burden could prove decisive over 7f.
