Verdict

FINE RIGHTLY is likely to be a short price here after an excellent third behind Carlingford Lough and Road To Riches in the Grade 1 Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown with some classy chasers behind. He has his stable companion Yes Tom to beat and should be capable of conceding 4lb though the eleven-year-old scored over timber at Ayr in January and is capable of a decent effort. Draycott Place is a useful chaser on his day who was in top form at this time a year ago but hasn't been at his best this season.
