A desperate affair which won't take much winning. Court Of Law won at Warwick before finishing second at Sedgefield and appears to have found his best trip. Butlergrove King could give Gowanauthat's second at Worcester a boost in the previous race while Sylvan Legend has a chance if jumping better. Samtheman has also found the fences getting in the way lately but Cool Bob could plod into a place. CAROBELLO is only 2lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago so we'll take a chance that a return to familiar surroundings sparks a revival.
