Fred Bear may well give the debut success of CARAMELISED a boost in the first division and Alan King’s colt can defy a 6lb penalty with Crane looking well held. Addosh is useful on the Flat, winning over a mile at Thirsk in April, while Prey For Glory placed four times on the level. Sabre Jet is also interesting hailing from a yard that does well with novices.
