The 2025 Suffolk Handicap

Fox Legacy is of potential interest to me in this.

I'm wary of form in small fields for bigger-field contests, but it's not every day you see one win a handicap by 12 lengths and the time wasn't too bad last August at Salisbury, a relatively local course to me and a circuit I've walked a few times.

Like Brighton and Bath, it's one of the last bastions of proper Firm ground in the summer months.

Fox Legacy got a 16lb hike for bolting in at Netherhampton (which is where the course is actually situated), but is now down 3lb after lacklustre efforts at Doncaster (ground too Soft?) and Southwell (didn't stay 1m4f?)

I like a horse that stays 1m2f in these Cambridgeshire-esque 1m1f straight contests and if the ground is resilient he is capable of being on the premises on Saturday.

10/1 would appeal if I knew he was going to run - but I don't.

I still think Fox Legacy has a chance here and he was 15 to small money on the machine last time I looked.

Can the last doubter of your favourite Uncle Smart Arse please close the door quietly as they sheepishly exit the building?

Even my haters secretly love me, really - how could they not? 😂

Moving to a new stable after the retirement of Sir Michael Stoute wasn't a disadvantage for either More Thunder or Fox Legacy.

Aerion Power ( 18/1) runs for Hamad Al Jehani in the 3:55 race at Goodwood this afternoon. He's a seven-year-old bought by Wathnan Racing who is invariably slowly away. Anna Swan (7/1) is in the Pretty Polly at Newmarket tomorrow for William Haggas.
