Blyton is the odd one out having failed to win his latest outing. The Great Heir scored over 6f at Redcar and attempts this extra distance for the first time while Posh Perfect and stablemate Aurag won over 6f at Pontefract and Hamilton respectively with the former preferred. But THE MACKEM BULLET romped home by five lengths at Carlisle last time and given the runner-up has subsequently won, that looks good enough form to land this and Brian Ellison’s charge gets the nod in the closing event.
