Mr Right continues sprint up the ratings

Mr Right has progressed nicely on the all-weather at Dundalk this year, and continued that upward curve on turf when taking the Coral.ie Bet & Watch Irish And UK Racing Live Handicap at the Curragh.
Ronan Whelan sent the 12/1 chance to the front well over a furlong out, and the Johnny Levins-trained gelding soon asserted to put his stamp on the six-furlong event.
Ryan Moore endured a nightmare passage on Master Speaker with the 3/1 favourite having to be brought widest of all after failing to find any gaps on the stands’ side rail.
He finished to great effect inside the final furlong to get within half a length at the line, with Expreso Brasileiro a further two and three quarter lengths adrift in third.
Levins said, “He’s matured beyond all recognition after his break. He’s a horse that we have always thought a lot of, and the dream is alive now.
“The likes of the Scurry and the Rockingham are races we can look at. He’s a very smart horse.”
