Verdict
Coranglais continues to disappoint but is given another chance over Ballybunion, Noble Mount and Chatshow. Coranglais pulled much too hard when taken off his feet at Lingfield last time, finishing well down the field, and also failed to impress the time before at the Surrey track. Prior to those two efforts though, Milton Bradley's five-year-old was very unlucky not to oblige here when caught right on the line after overcoming trouble in running to begin with. At Bath in October he was beaten just over a length by Chatshow and now meets that rival on 8lb better terms, so should turn the tables comfortably on Tony Carroll's inmate. Ballybunion paid his first visit to Wolverhampton just four days ago and shaped well in third behind Zoom Zoom. He looks shortlist material, but Noble Mount beat little of note at Lingfield the time before last and does not make as much appeal. Coranglais is taken to return to winning ways.
