Having tumbled in the weights, Always Resolute looks worth siding with now dropped in class in the 2m 3f handicap hurdle at Doncaster today (5.05).
This Ian Williams trained 10-year-old is a decent dual purpose performer who has a good record at the venue having won twice and been placed once in four starts.
His last success over the obstacles came over 2m 1f here in a class 4 back in January 2019 when gamely scoring by 1 3/4 lengths off a mark of 116.
Always Resolute has been well-beaten in four spins over hurdles this season, but those having all been in class 3 contests and he now drops back down into class 4 company in which he has notched all three of his wins over hurdles.
The assessor has also dropped him a massive 16lb since the start of the campaign and Always Resolute is now able to race off 109 – 7lb lower than when last victorious.
It gives him a huge shout at the weights on the pick of his form and makes him simply too well-treated to ignore for a shrewd yard that has been amongst the winners of late.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pts win Always Resolute (6/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
