Iff In Doubt silks

Iff In Doubt

SPECULATIVE Advised 3/1 Est. 23%

Mr Fox says

Iff In Doubt (SR:60, 3/1) is the top-rated horse in the field and the market favourite, backed in 7% from opening. At 3 years old with a form line showing a recent '5' last time, running off a mark 3lb higher than last win (MarkMv:+3) is manageable given the SR advantage — 1 point ahead of Carrigans Grove (SR:61 but DistFit:- and GoingFit:~ versus Iff In Doubt's tighter overall profile). The Lynam/Holohan combination (11% and 9% strike rates respectively) gives this a professional booking that matches the market confidence. While DistFit:- and GoingFit:- are shared by most of this field, the SR edge, market support and trainer competence make Iff In Doubt the standout pick. Each-way alternative: Carrigans Grove. Main danger: Carrigans Grove — Carrigans Grove (SR:61, 10/3) actually shares the top SR in the field, carries only 9-13 versus Iff In Doubt's 10-1, has course form (W1P1), GoingFit:~ (better than most rivals), and a MarkMv:-10 drop that significantly eases the task — a very live each-way and win threat.
