WHATACRACKER has tumbled to a grade where he could feasibly end his lengthy losing streak, having shaped well despite traffic issues at Southwell 18 days ago. Noss Mayo has been finishing strongly in recent races and may appreciate this trip, while Speechman returns to a more suitable distance after failing to stay 16f last time and has shown fair form at this C&D previously.
