Krismas Cracker, Swift Sailor and Nudge and Nurdle are the three to look at here and Nudge and Nurdle may turn out to be well treated and can take this. Nudge and Nurdle is yet to win a race but clearly has ability, chasing home the highly regarded Ringaroses last time. He is likely to come on for his second run of the season and hails from a yard who are in good form. He is the one to beat.. Swift Sailor has won two of his last three starts and was brought down on the other occasion when still holding every chance. He has been raised a hefty 8 pounds for a short head win last time and that may prove his undoing. Krismas Cracker ran behind some useful types last season and ran respectably and was sent off favourite first time out this season, finishing a good second. He can be in the shake up. Nudge and Nurdle¿s form looks the most solid and he can win his first race.
