Perfect Cracker just got the better of Off The Pulse over track and trip last month with Idol Deputy not far behind in third. Coillte Cailin won at Chelmsford last time with Berlusca beaten less than a length while Sbraase is another to consider in a wide open affair. But SHEILA'S BUDDY may just edge this after finishing runner-up in a higher grade at Lingfield recently. Stan Moore's charge should be bang there at the finish with a similar effort.
