ROYAL MACKINTOSH is the hopeful selection to win this at the main expense of Teenando and Getinbybutonlyjust. Royal Mackintosh showed the benefit of his seasonal reappearance last time when finishing a good second at Carlisle, however the form has been left down somewhat by the third who disappointed at Hexham on Wednesday. His lightly raced profile means he remains open to further improvement. Teenando has gone up an aggregate of 19lb for his last two successes. Having scored over two miles last time and the intermediate trip of 2m 4f beforehand, he now tackles 3m here. Getinbybutonlyjust has come down the weights and if returning to his form of old he would merit consideration. Sea Cadet could prove a danger to all at the foot of the weights although his ability to handle such testing conditions as today is open to question. Royal Mackintosh is given the vote to land it.
