The Wonga Coup was winning for the first time in 20 starts at Bath last month before promptly going in again at the same track last time. He should be thereabouts once again but preference goes to the less exposed ELSIE BAY. She went close when runner-up at Bath with Zuzu Angel back in fifth and, with the promise of more to come, Mark Usher's filly gets the nod. Princess Willow almost lost her maiden tag when beaten less than a length at Kempton recently and Chatterati's latest third over C&D will be boosted if runner-up Thecornishcowboy goes well in the previous race.
