The Sayer operation has made a good start to the new campaign and their consistent gelding OH RIGHT can go well here. He's been in solid form throughout the year, including when scoring stoutly at Newcastle, revealing a good attitude. He's been dropped 4lb over timber for his one disappointing effort this year at Southwell but came back to form when going well over fences last time. Therefore, he looks well treated here and is just preferred to Velvet Vic. The latter is a major threat if reproducing a good recent effort at Wetherby when just over a length third to Tears From Heaven for which he's been raised 2lb. Keeverfield is respected despite topweight as he gets on well with his claiming amateur and Roll Over Rose is another possible if running up to the level of a Newcastle second last time.
