Perrie Hill has never won in 21 career starts but came closest when runner-up in a big field at Navan in September. Just Get Cracking has been performing consistently well over fences and can revert to hurdles on an 8lb lower mark though the concession of 12lb, including Ger Fox' claim, to DE BENNO (NAP) looks beyond him. The latter went up a massive 13lb for his victory at Fairyhouse in November but has continued to perform well and his close second to the in-form Tipped Up Harry at Navan looks good enough for this. Dr Waluigi has never won under Rules while the five-year-old Trade Marked may struggle in this company.
