Formscan  - HE'S OUR CRACKER saw the race out well to get off the mark here three weeks ago and the Jennie Candlish-trained four-year-old has a decent chance of notching back-to-back C&D wins off just 3lb higher. The consistent Eagles Whistle is feared most, although she still needs to show that she handles Polytrack. Support in the betting for Karakula or Forca Timao would be noteworthy.
