In depth
Verdict
Right (90) is officially rated the best of theses over fences form Bellino Spirit (84) and the pair have to be respected. They have most to fear from the chasing debutant River Ness, who was by far the best of these over hurdles and is also a course winner. As such, he gets the vote, as he will have been well schooled by Nicky Richards' team. Boston Lass has run creditable over hurdles and is another chasing debutant. Right can claim second.
