Less than a length separated the winner Perfect Cracker and RED WARRIOR over track and trip three weeks ago and this looks a re-match given the poor recent form of the opposition. The latter gets the vote to turn the tables on better terms today. Al Jamal won over a mile here last term but was tailed off on her reappearance while decent all-weather handicappers Tinshu and Silver Dixie both arrive out of sorts. Commissar has struggled since scoring at Kempton early in the year and Greeleys Love still looks high enough in the handicap.
