Verdict
Perfect Cracker has won the last two renewals and is back on the same mark as when landing this last year. But he was behind runner-up COILTTE CAILIN (NAP) over track and trip last month and, though the latter disappointed at Lingfield on her latest start when Dutch Uncle finished second, she gets another chance in this. Dutch Uncle is now 8lb higher than his earlier success here while Amazement is upped in class off a higher mark after scoring at the track last month. Andastra returned from a lengthy absence with a decent effort over shorter distance at this venue and has plenty of scope while Cote d'Azur is at home in this grade but hasn’t raced since October.
