Verdict
Despite finishing last of four at Wexford, Mr Right wasn't beaten far nor was he at Navan earlier and, with a tactical battle likely, he's not out of this despite having a lot to do under the race conditions. Nebulla beat a big field on soft ground at Nottingham in November when trained by Noel Quinlan. He was beaten a long way on his reappearance for John Oxx at the Curragh last month but should soon leave that form well behind. SIDRA is progressing nicely and followed a comfortable maiden success at Gowran with a much better effort at Killarney when a close second to On A Pedestal, who was receiving 17lb - that form should be good enough for this.
