DEAD RIGHT beat dual Grade 1 winner Next Destination in a Punchestown bumper in April of last year. He hasn’t raced since but had excuses when well beaten on his only previous try over hurdles and will be expected to hold his own at a decent level in the coming months. Serosevsky looks the one most likely to take advantage of any ring-rustiness as he won at Exeter earlier this month, though has to carry a penalty. March Is On and Commodore Barry both need to improve on what they’ve shown so far over timber.
