Perfect Cracker had Red Shuttle back in fourth when scoring over track and trip last month and is upped 4lb. Coillte Cailin has been raised the same amount for landing a lower grade race here last time while Monaleen won a maiden contest just 12 days ago and the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form. Arc Lighter has tumbled down the weights despite having had only three starts since arriving from France but ANSAAB gets another chance in this having stood little chance in Listed company last time. The latter was a winner in this grade at Lingfield before that.
