It's only a matter of time until Perfect Cracker is winning again off his current mark although he never threatened when third at Newbury a fortnight ago. Pandorica went close at Chepstow last time but over 1m4f and APRIL CIEL makes more appeal over today's distance. The latter also finished runner-up at Chepstow on his latest outing with Drummond and James Pollard behind and Ron Harris' charge can confirm running and go one better in this. Bold Cross has a bit to find with the selection on earlier form and needs more to figure.
