Ross Na Righ should go well as he made a very good start over fences when runner-up to Oscar Dan Dan in what looked a strong beginners chase at Navan last weekend. SPECIAL TOKEN was disqualified after finishing first past the post at Cork as she badly interfered with Belle Brook on the run-in. She was only headed in the final strides on her previous start there so deserves a change of luck. Winning point-to-pointer and hurdler Soverign looked in need of a stiffer test when making his debut over regulation fences at Fairyhouse last month and can make his presence felt and Lockdown is surely better than his latest effort when strongly fancied at Downpatrick.
