Verdict
Jimmy Crackle has been finding 1m2f stretching his stamina so this trip should prove ideal. Dark Crystal has won twice here and Megan Carberry's claim should ensure he's thereabouts but it's about time MFIFTYTHREEDOTCOM was winning and this looks a good opportunity. He was a bit unlucky in-running over 7f at Newcastle last time but finished strongly and this should be his day with George Chaloner's claim a major plus. Pigeon Pie couldn't handle Epsom last time and is better judged on his earlier runs over this trip at Hamilton while the maiden Aran Sky was going on strongly at the finish at Hamilton last time and has been dropped a couple of pounds.
