Verdict
Not many of these arrive off the back of decent efforts but Cara Court and Pistol Basc are previous course winners while Carobello was sent off favourite at Fakenham last month. CROWN AND GLORY only weakened at the last on his debut over fences at Sedgefield last time. A winning pointer, he should be capable of better so gets the nod with Jonathan England's claim a plus. Wincanton runner-up Moonlight Maggie may be the danger ahead of One In A Row, who hasn't raced since September.
