Coach Lane is looking increasingly like a light of former days and not even AP McCoy could spark a revival at Exeter last month. CHILBURY HILL can confirm Worcester running with Salybia Bay, despite re-opposing on 8lb worse terms and should finish ahead of Al Amaan, who is hard to win with. He can follow up here as though Adajal had some decent form in Ireland, he's never produced the goods for Jonjo O'Neill and the fitting of blinkers may be something of a last resort.
