In the 4.45 at
Nottingham on Tuesday, Always Resolute has been in cracking
form since returning to action on the Flat in May, winning three of
his four starts and looks far from impossibly handicapped, despite a
5lb rise in the weights for winning at Chester last month. He’s
reunited with 7lb claimer Ben Robinson, who won on him at Ripon three
starts ago and, while he’s yet to win on going faster than good,
he’s been placed on the prevailing good to firm going a couple of
times.
The son of Refuse To
Bend has been tried just twice over 2 miles, finishing a never-nearer
sixth of 14, beaten 7 lengths, behind Magic Circle at Haydock last
September (when with Timothy Jarvis) off a mark of 65 and beating
Diamond Joel by 1½ lengths at Chester off a mark of 73 on his most
recent start for his new yard. That latter piece of form represented
a career-best effort and, while Musselburgh isn’t as sharp as
Chester, the sharp, flat track should play to his strengths once
again and he looks a decent bet to continue his winning sequence.
