Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier| OR: 80

Top Fox¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: E Walker| OR: 82| BF

10/3

Promising type. Third of 12 in maiden at this course (9.5f, 11/10) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Should have a race in him and this longer trip will suit.

Untold Story (5/6), Top Fox (10/3), Global Walk (7/2), Toora Loora (10/1), Chiave Di Volta (12/1), Tara Kay (33/1), Star Dreamer (50/1), Tannadice Park (80/1), Devongate (100/1), The Boola Bee (150/1), My Foxy Lady (200/1)

UNTOLD STORY hasn't been seen since his very promising debut run at Sandown in June, but the winner there went on to have a good season and the well-bred Godolphin 3-y-o looks open to stacks of improvement if all is well. Stablemate Global Walk is worth monitoring in the betting on debut, while there is probably a race in the expensive Top Fox.
