Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 535 Handicap

Off time: 20:36 | Winning time: 1m 50.49s

(5)

Allux Boy^p¹³⁹

6/1

C&D winner has had wind surgery since finishing 11L ninth over an extended 1m1f here in March. Worth a check in the market on his return to action.

Form: 0-05859

Freedom And Wheat³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: M Blake| OR: 54

9/2

Ran well when finishing fourth in a 7f handicap at Leicester (good-to-firm) at the end of last month. Interesting runner racing off a mark 5lb lower than for his sole previous victory.

Form: 032-654

Recuerdame^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dow| OR: 53

7/2

Dual winner most recently over this trip at Kempton just over a fortnight ago. Raised 3lb for that triumph and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 80-5381

Queen Mia^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 53| CD

9/2

C&D winner was in good form prior to disappointing over an extended 1m2f at Haydock (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Previously finished runner-up off this mark at Ayr (1m2f, soft) and is of interest in this event.

Mabaady⁷³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 52

100/1

Finished ninth on both starts since joining this yard and is probably best watched following a 16L defeat here over this C&D on his most recent start.

Form: 67499/

(9)

Musee D'Orsay²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

4/1

Built on a promising effort over 1m at Chelmsford last month when finishing third over this C&D at the start of the month. Bold show expected despite a 1lb rise in the weights.

Form: 5-79153

(4)

Don't Be Surprised³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: S Spencer| OR: 49

10/1

14 race maiden finished well beaten at Thirsk (1m, good) last month on his most recent start. Likely to have improved for that outing and market support would be notable.

Form: 80-2237

(10)

Rock Up In Style¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: C Ellam| OR: 49| CD

80/1

Won once from 13 starts but has struggled in six races since joining this stable most recently when 29L last of nine over an extended 1m1f here in February. Others make more appeal.

Form: 8009-89

(11)

New Look^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Howard Cheng| T: L Williamson| OR: 48

50/1

Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts since joining this stable and he is seeking a first victory since winning at Longchamp (1m, good-to-soft) in June 2018.

Form: 70-0780

(7)

Final Attack²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 47| CD

11/1

Showed up well when finishing ½L second in a handicap over C&D at the start of this month. Raised 1lb for that effort and is one to note as he chases a second C&D success.

Form: 772942

(2)

Pinchpoint^h¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 47

28/1

13 race maiden returns to the Flat having fallen in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (good) 11 days ago. Others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 0/86050-

Forecasts

Recuerdame (7/2), Musee D'Orsay (4/1), Freedom And Wheat (9/2), Queen Mia (9/2), Allux Boy (6/1), Don't Be Surprised (10/1), Final Attack (11/1), Pinchpoint (28/1), New Look (50/1), Rock Up In Style (80/1), Mabaady (100/1)

FINAL ATTACK ran well when runner-up here last time out and he can go one better by registering a victory in this contest. The selection has a good draw here and he can get the better of his rivals with last time out winner Recuerdame capable of claiming second spot ahead of Musee D'Orsay who was placed here on his most recent start.
