In depth
Verdict
Readin Tommy Wrong was bought by leading owners Munir and Souede after finishing second at Belharbour in February last year. Master Player didn't act on heavy ground at Wexford having been placed on good going at Listowel while Get It Right showed potential on his debut a year ago but was well beaten at Leopardstown over Christmas. Arabian Diamond ran over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January but ANY ROAD is the definite form pick. Runner-up to Blizzard Of Oz at Cork, the form was boosted when the winner finished second in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree.
