Verdict

An interesting novice chase can go to MR CRACKER, who like Sebadee made an impressive start to his chasing career. Michael Hourigan's five-year-old jumped well to beat the more experienced Warne at Limerick and may just have a little more scope than Sebadee though Ken Condon's new recruit could hardly have done it better on his debut over fences at Downpatrick when Chausettes was a long way behind. King Rocco wasn't too far behind Mr Cracker at Limerick and this dual winning point-to-pointer should make his mark over the bigger obstacles. Back Of The Pack also made a winning start over fences at Tramore but faces a stiff task against very progressive rivals.
