Verdict
CRACKER FACTORY failed to win in four earlier starts on the Flat but showed progressive form over hurdles last year culminating in a Listed success at Wetherby. Alan King’s charge may prove ahead of the handicapper back on the level. Enmeshing is usually thereabouts in this grade and Attain has a shout on his recent placed efforts here while Music Major is another with claims on last week’s close-up fourth at the track. Gendarme finished just in front of Famous Dynasty at Kempton last month and could also go well.
