Mr Fox’s call
Sonyourastar
SPECULATIVE Advised 15/8 Est. 32%
Mr Fox says
Sonyourastar (SR:101, 15/8, 11-11) is the highest-rated horse in the field and is trained by Olly Murphy (23% strike rate from 1,814 runners) with Sean Bowen aboard (24% from 2,400 runners) — the strongest connections combination on show. Running at the same class (ClassMv:=) means no step up in grade to navigate, and the GoingFit:~ suggests good ground is workable. The recent form -88432 shows a horse in progressive chase of a placing sequence, and the Course:W0P1 gives some familiarity with Worcester. The weight of 11-11 is manageable given the SR advantage over the field — only Ballynaheer (SR:95) and Billy Boi Blue (SR:98) come close, and both carry 12-0. Each-way alternative: Saint Arion. Main danger: Billy Boi Blue — Billy Boi Blue (SR:98, 9/1) has steamed in 25% in the market — the strongest move in the field — drops a class (ClassMv:↓1) and runs off a mark 4lb lower than its last win (MarkMv:-4), which is a classic handicapper's setup; if the market knows something, this is the one.
