McCain mulls Regal plan

Donald McCain’s exciting prospect Regal Heights will line up in Saturday’s Cyril Alexander Memorial HBLB Novices’ Chase at Kelso and is unlikely to be risked at the Cheltenham Festival.

A winner at Haydock last time, Regal Heights finished a 17-length second to My Way De Solzen at the same track previously and also recorded a victory over the Cheltenham-bound King Revo earlier in the season.
