In depth
Verdict
Plenty of these have had chances but Foxysox looks to be going the right way and is taken to confirm Newmarket running with Chronomatic, with Misphire and Bellsbank rated the best of the remainder. The selection had shown promise in his first three starts before running Murfreesboro to three-quarters of a length in a valuable sales race at Newmarket last month, with Chronomatic well held. That form looks to be easily the best on offer and a reproduction of that effort should suffice for Chris Wall's filly. Ralph Beckett's Ingratitude is open to improvement and has to be considered, along with Imperial Gem although she would need to improve on all known evidence. Misphire was not far behind the selection at Newmarket but has disappointed again since then and may not be one to trust implicitly, while Bellsbank is consistent but may again have to settle for a minor role. Foxysox looks to be going the right way though and she is taken to open her account.
