Verdict
Falak won a Kilbeggan maiden last month and followed up over 1m6f on the Flat at Carlisle 11 days later. He looks to be on an onward curve but High Jinx won over track and trip and at Aintree before finding only a subsequent winner too good at Market Rasen when conceding 21lb. AYE RIGHT has not been easy to train but doesn’t look short of ability. He’s won a bumper and been second twice over hurdles and this step up in trip could see him in an even better light - he’ll go close on these terms if fully wound-up.
