Verdict

Coolbeg is interesting now going chasing but lacks a recent run. Capdalight, on the other hand, has been on the go for a while and may be due a rest. Neil Mulholland saddles Uttoxeter third Midnight Opera and the frustrating Ban Uisce, but neither looks particularly well handicapped while Morestead has had plenty of chances lately and is still 14lb higher than his last win. COACH LANE was beginning to look as though he'd lost the plot and finished behind Morestead over 2m4f at Exeter last month. He was much more like his old self back over this trip at Warwick last time, however, and is still well handicapped on his best form. He gets the nod here, though Petito could run him close if a Stratford win has boosted confidence.
