Oh Right hasn't managed a win over fences so far but was a close second behind Saddle Pack over 2m1f at Hexham in March and did win over hurdles at Newcastle subsequently. However, Dianne Sayer's charge was a long way behind TEARS FROM HEAVEN over 3m at Musselburgh in January and it's Chris Grant's six-year-old, who drops in grade here, that gets the vote. Top weight Mickytaker also has his sights lowered but has his fair share of weight considering his lack of experience and just as interesting is Sam Patch, who is gradually getting his act together over the larger obstacles.
