Lightly-raced, RIGHT TO RULE can only improve for his debut second over hurdles at Bangor. That may turn out to have been a decent contest for the time of year and Donald McCain's charge should confirm the form with third Alborz and go one better here. Ctappers has won on the Flat since his sixth at Newton Abbot in August but may struggle again under his penalty while the market is likely to be the best guide to the chances of newcomers Sakhee Bob and Stickleback
