A host in with chances but having been well backed at Clonmel last month, CORKBEG took a notable step back in the right direction when fourth and David Kelly's 8-y-o gets the verdict to go a few places better from an unchanged mark. His main danger may emerge from Give Him A Chance, who bolted up at Kilbeggan recently and has been clobbered with a 10 lb rise. Party President, Doctor Confusion and Minority Interest all make some sort of appeal, too.
