Intensical was due to run at Southwell yesterday. MR CHRISTOPHER is preferred anyway as he was beaten in a higher grade than this at Lingfield last time but finished only a length behind the winner over track and trip before that. Be Royale is usually in the mix but a rare winner nowadays while Anonymous John has done all his winning so far over shorter trips. Athassel rattled-up a hat-trick in March and Passing Star could bounce back at any time as he slips further down the weights.
