THE RIGHT CHOICE has been thereabouts on the all-weather since joining James Ferguson’s yard and can race off a 7lb lower mark back on this surface. He’s preferred to Lingfield third Tawaafoq but Castlerea Tess scored over track and trip last summer and looks a bigger threat. The veteran Kinglami has won off higher marks here in the past while Showmethewayavrilo missed the whole of last year but has a recent comeback under his belt and was narrowly beaten when last racing over course and distance.
