CARA COURT is taken to revert to winning ways in the hope that a recent busy schedule does not take its toll. A confirmed stayer, the trip was surely too short when beaten at Market Rasen at the weekend and the memory of a runaway success at Sedgefield previously still burns bright. This looks a far more logical assignment and a third win in four starts looks on the cards in an albeit competitive contest. Notonebuttwo has put together a consistent sequence of late and went well for his young conditional last time and the combination are reunited here. Chris Grant's charge seems sure to be in the mix again with trip and ground suiting. St Gregory looks the dark horse of the race for Nicky Richards and it will be interesting to see if any market support comes his way, but Oniz Tiptoes has no secrets from the handicapper these days.
