In depth
Verdict
Roseville Cottage and Cara Court are both previous course and distance scorers so warrant respect in a contest that may not take much winning. Cool Star arrives off the back of an easy win at Hexham but this looks too far for Sedgefield specialist Pindar and Go Teescomponents was on and off the bridle when fourth at Southwell last time. PISTOL BASC had been beaten twice in a row by My Friend George before coming out best at Wetherby last month. Rebecca Menzies' charge is taken to confirm that latest running and land this.
