SPECULATIVE Advised 4/1 Est. 24%

5TH

Mr Fox says

Trigger The Light (SR:81, 4/1) carries top-weight of 12-0 but has the highest SR in the competitive range alongside Captain Connor, proven GoingFit:+ on today's good ground — the only runner with a confirmed positive going fit — and the market has steamed in 9% reflecting stable confidence from the Sara Bradstock yard (22% strike rate, 41 runners). The course place (W0P1) at Southwell adds familiarity, and a ClassMv:↓1 drop means this is a more winnable assignment than last time. The 28-day freshness and headgear (h) suggest a horse ready to go. Each-way alternative: Captain Connor. Main danger: Captain Connor — Captain Connor (SR:89, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field, has steamed in 32% in the market, carries only 10-3 giving it a 13lb weight advantage over Trigger The Light, and a ClassMv:↓1 drop in class could bring out improvement — the GoingFit:- concern on good ground is the one specific flaw holding it back from the top selection.
