Tippering produced a slightly better effort last time and this longer trip and drop in grade may bring further improvement. A repeat of Rebel Swing's third at Wetherby in November would give him a chance and Talesofriverbank plugged on for third over 3m at Newcastle last month. Seven Is Lucky has actually won a race but that was over fences and he's been pulled-up twice since, so the vote goes to CRACKERJACK LAD. He stayed on to take third behind Sundown Trail over 2m4f here last month and this longer trip should see him in a better light.
