Placed on all four starts since joining this stable in November last year including when beaten a neck over this trip at Newcastle in January. Absent since and is of interest on his return to turf.

Often slowly away and failed to make an impact in two starts last autumn including when ninth of ten over 5f at Southwell in October. Others hold more obvious claims on stable debut.

Fair effort in finishing 6½L sixth in a handicap over this trip at Kempton at the start of the month. Races off a 3lb lower mark here with an eye-cover and tongue tie both tried for the first time.

C&D winner finished a good 1L third in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in early October but has disappointed on both subsequent starts including when ninth of ten over this trip at Kempton earlier this month.

Beaten 5L when finishing sixth in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton recently and is worth a check in the market returning to turf racing off a mark 2lb higher than when winning over 7f at Leicester (good-to-firm) last September.

Successful off a 3lb lower mark over this C&D on good-to-soft ground last August and finished a good second over 7f here later that month. Disappointing since and market support would be notable on his return to action.

Ended last year with a heavy defeat in a 7f handicap on the fibresand at Southwell in October. Drop in trip a positive but others hold more obvious claims on first start of the year.

13 race maiden registered one of her better efforts when finishing 5¾L fourth in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last week. Likely more needed if she's to take this event racing from out of the handicap dropping in trip.

Dual winner over this trip as a two-year-old but was disappointing in the main last year. Races from out of the handicap with a hood replacing the blinkers worn when suffering a heavy defeat at Lingfield (6f) recently.

16 race maiden was beaten 9L when finishing fifth in a handicap over this trip at Chelmsford recently. Others hold more obvious claims racing from out of the weights on his return to turf.

Well held in all four starts on the AW earlier this year including when 13½L ninth over 7f at Kempton in March. Others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Peachey Carnehan (10/3), The Right Choice (4/1), Red Bravo (9/2), Castlerea Tess (6/1), Maerchengarten (15/2), Tawaafoq (9/1), The Golden Cue (14/1), Kinglami (18/1), Fantasy Justifier (18/1), Showmethewayavrilo (20/1), Cox Bazar (20/1), Autumn Splendour (28/1), Grandstand (40/1), Burauq (125/1)

Verdict

THE RIGHT CHOICE has run well on all four starts since joining this yard and he is taken to defy top weight to register a victory on his return to turf in this competitive looking sprint handicap. The selection can get the better of last years C&D scorer Castlerea Tess who is making her first start of the year while third can go to Tawaafoq who was placed over this trip on the AW on his most recent start.
  1. The Right Choice
  2. Castlerea Tess
  3. Tawaafoq
