Cracker Factory puts an unbeaten record on the line but this is easily his toughest task to date. Breakfast made a winning start over timber over track and trip but is also penalised, though should again beat Bodes Well. JACK REGAN has a rating of 88 on the Flat having won three times this year over 1m2f. If Ian Williams’ charge transfers that ability to the winter game, he could be a useful juvenile hurdler in the coming months.
