A claiming hurdle is next on the agenda and this can go the way of Irish raider RIGHT OR WRONG ahead of Financialregulator and Castelli. Gordon Elliot complicates matters here by running two but Right Or Wrong does appear to be the stables first choice. He is also best in at the weights and has the ever capable Jason McGuire in the saddle. The selections recent form is not great but the return to a sound surface in a weak race will aid his cause. Financialregulator is the stables other runner and with his seven lbs claimer making his task easier he is weighted to run well but has been out of form of late. His latest run was a bit more encouraging so he must be monitored in the betting. Castelli is the most interesting horse in the race being a well bred son of Galileo. He showed nothing on the flat in Ireland but his trainer does well with these types and is worth consideration in a weak affair. Harvey's Spirit is another to note but we will return to Right Or Wrong in the hope he is the stables first choice.
