Simon Walker’s mounts in races like this always demand close inspection and ALLUX BOY (NAP) is no exception. Nigel Tinkler’s stable has been among the winners lately and his five-year-old is 2-3 around here and better drawn than likely market rival Luna Magic, a less frequent winner who is having a first run for Archie Watson. Rosin Box usually attracts market support and the drop back to 7f at Carlisle last time probably didn’t suit while Pike Corner Cross is rarely far away here. Mime Dance won a similar race at Lingfield so can’t be ruled out.
