PERFECT CRACKER has been given a break since a poor effort on his handicap debut at Salisbury in August. He'd started favourite in three earlier starts in maidens and this looks a good opportunity for him to finally get off the mark. Hooligan Sean had bits of form last year that would entitle him to consideration if he hadn't been off the track for so long and Amba is preferred having shown her first worthwhile form when third at Wolverhampton last time. Sawahill is interesting on her return with Ryan Moore booked and the newcomer Great Expectations is related to a handful of winners.
