Weebill has had wind surgery since failing to land the odds at Wetherby in March but usually needs a run and jockey bookings suggest RIGHT TURN may be the stable pick today. Though still a maiden, the latter had decent form in Ireland on the Flat and is unexposed over timber. Long Call could go well back over hurdles having won a non-seller at Bangor in the summer and True Romance won on the all-weather earlier this month but Gregor, Captain Jack and Lucky Robin are best watched.
