FULL INTENTION could only manage third off a slow pace at Chelmsford last time. But he gets another chance in this having won at Lingfield earlier and beating Sir Titan and Love Destiny in the process. The latter landed a double over track and trip here in January including a defeat of Evasive Power, who went on to score back here a week ago. Rovaniemi is proving hard to win with having failed to land the odds over the minimum trip at Chelmsford though his only success so far came over today’s distance.
