In depth

Verdict

Brian Ellison’s string continues in fine form and Traveltalk won easily at Newcastle after a close-up second at Nottingham and should make a bold bid to complete a quick double. RIGHT ABOUT NOW has only raced at Yarmouth on Turf this year but has won twice, including last time when Seamus Cronin was in the saddle. A 3lb rise is not excessive and Chris Dwyer’s charge is probably worth sticking with, though Zamperini should be a factor in this lowly grade and Bayston Hill should also be thereabouts.
