CREST OF ARMS clearly wasn't himself at Taunton 6 weeks ago, yet he'd previously shaped with a good deal of promise in bumpers, notably when seventh in a big-field listed contest at Cheltenham and with his pedigree very much an ongoing recommendation for jumping, he could be the answer. Crackalackin following his Fakenham debut third in this sphere and Expensive Emotion are the dangers.
