Just Cause was beaten seven lengths by DOWNTOWN GETAWAY at Kelso and a 4lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough to reverse the placings with Derek O’Connor having travelled over from Ireland to partner Mickey Bowen’s charge. Spectacular Rival is having a first run over regulation fences but is only seven so has plenty of scope. Cashmoll may be the pick of the remainder.
