AYE RIGHT was the surprise winner of a bumper here in November then made a very promising debut over hurdles behind the strongly-fancied Clondaw Warrior at Kelso, form that should be too good for these rivals. Western Honour won a point at Farmaclaffley last March then went to Paul Nicholls and started favourite for a maiden hurdle at Chepstow in November but finished tailed off. He's joined James Moffatt and shouldn't be written off. Ofcourseiwill made a successful debut between the flags at Stradbally in May before a fair run in a bumper at Bangor but took a fierce hold on his hurdling bow at Ludlow last month and was soon done with after leading in the early stages.
