16:47 Fontwell — Race Preview & Tips
For the 16:47 Fontwell, we're making Rap Soul our strongest fancy of the day. This Richard Bandey-trained gelding, partnered by the excellent Harry Bannister, boasts formidable claims and looks a rock-solid proposition on this good ground over fences.
Rap Soul comes into this race in the form of his life, having rattled off back-to-back victories with his 7-57011 form revealing a horse that has truly found his stride. Crucially, this gelding ticks a vital box, having won last time out, demonstrating current well-being and an abundance of confidence. Furthermore, Rap Soul truly stands out as the top-rated horse in this field with an OR of 99, giving him a significant class advantage over his rivals.
While the EVS price reflects the market's confidence, we believe it's fully justified by the statistics and recent performances. He's clearly progressive and looks capable of completing the hat-trick here. For those seeking an each-way alternative, Wellwillya could offer some value with a consistent profile that suggests he can run into the places. However, our main fancy remains Rap Soul for a winning return.
