Verdict

CRACKERGEE's propensity to blow the start remains a cause for concern but the step up to 2m will help him so he's given the tentative nod from his career-low mark. Haaland is the obvious threat following his ready Southwell win, with Now The Eagle also a last-time-out scorer.

2	Down in the weights and shaped quite well when fourth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 17 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Tongue strap back on and cheekpieces for the first time, he makes plenty of appeal up in distance. 1st Pick 2 Crackergee Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: Hughie Morrison J: Cieren Fallon T: Hughie Morrison	100	-	-	-	10%	10/1

3	No show at long odds on first 3 starts this year but cashed in on a falling mark/drop in grade in refitted cheekpieces at Southwell a month ago. 4 lb rise won't prevent a bold follow-up bid for that stylish success. 2nd Pick 3 Haaland (Ire) Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Jim & Suzi Best J: Luke Morris T: Jim & Suzi Best	94	-	-	-	29%	5/2

4	Left previous form for this yard (matching the level he achieved in France) when a 40/1 winner over this C&D 4 weeks ago. Value for extra on the day given he was held up in a steadily-run race so he needs considering. 3rd Pick 4 Now The Eagle (Fr) Jockey: Jack Dace Trainer: Luke Dace J: Jack Dace T: Luke Dace	94	-	-	-	34%	2/1
