Mr Fox’s call
La Torre
SPECULATIVE Advised 7/2 Est. 27%
Mr Fox says
La Torre (SR 155, 7/2) is the standout ability marker in this field, rated 17 points clear of the next best (Top Of The World SR 138) and 50 points above the 1/3 favourite Arthurian (SR 105). She carries 9-2, 5lb less than the rest of the field, a meaningful advantage in heavy ground over nearly a mile. Despite a debut third, she is freshening into this race with 38 days off and the market has moved in her favour (Mkt:in8%), while Ralph Beckett (19% strike rate, 1,732 runners) books Rossa Ryan — a combination that signals genuine intent. Arthurian's SR of 105 is workmanlike at best and her form of 6232 in easier company does not justify 1/3 favouritism here against a horse of substantially higher ability. Each-way alternative: Top Of The World. Main danger: Arthurian — Despite a SR well below La Torre's, Arthurian has course form (W0P2 at Haydock), proven distance fitness (DistFit:+), and connections of Andrew Balding and Oisin Murphy who rarely send a short-priced favourite without genuine purpose — if the SR undervalues her current condition, she remains the physical threat.
