A fiercely competitive contest this but there may just be a Graded class horse in the field in top-weight JOLLY'S CRACKED IT and his class and course form is the most persuasive factor in this wide-open handicap. Others with strong claims include ultra-consistent soft ground lover Mr Antolini who is a proven commodity in such contests having won the Imperial Cup and the closely matched pair of unexposed hurdlers Lisp and Mont Des Avaloirs.
- Jolly's Cracked It
