Both PERFECT CRACKER (NAP) and Off The Pulse bid for a hat-trick of course and distance victories. But the former is preferred given he scored in a higher grade contest than this last time and as been raised only 4lb. Off The Pulse was all out to beat Sbraase here last time while Monsieur Chevalier has been winning plating races and will find this tougher. Coillte Cailin will do well to turn the tables with the selection but Tizlove Regardless finally showed signs of a return to form when second here last time and is not so easily overlooked.
