Aye Right just failed to catch the winner over track and trip last time but is now 7lb higher than his earlier success at Ayr and JET MASTER makes more appeal. The veteran made a winning return to the smaller obstacles when landing a tougher race than this at Musselburgh and can defy a 2lb rise having won off a higher mark over fences in November. Bialco had been threatening to open his account over timber before struggling at Newcastle last time and the less exposed Seemorelights is preferred to both the former and Blunder Buss.
