CORKBEG is back down to a good mark on the pick of last season's efforts and, with a recent outing likely to have sharpened him up, he's fancied to snap a long losing run. Syosset was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Cork 5 days ago and seems sure to be on the premises once more, while Surviving Murmansk completes the shortlist.
