Bright Tomorrow might be the one to beat on his second at Wetherby on Boxing Day but has been tried over 3m twice and was pulled on both occasions. Red Danaher may have won easily at Catterick but that was a poor race and Loch Linnhe hasn’t raced since April last year. One Of Us seems suited by a change of tactics at Ascot and is only 4lb higher but it’s a while since Moidore got his head in front, though he’s well treated nowadays. CORLAY has had only one run for Jonjo O’Neill and was last of the six finishers. However, he wasn’t given a hard time and there should be more to come now he’s upped in trip.
