Cracking Chap has gradually improved and only faded in the closing stages at Punchestown last month. He was 9l in front of Drunken Counsel in the race won by Cheltenham winner Vautour in December and should confirm the form despite the latter winning a bumper last month. She's A Leader has shown definite signs of potential in bumpers but it's about time MACNICHOLSON was winning. Jessica Harrington's charge has been narrowly beaten in his two latest starts and it will take a good performance to prevent him gaining his first success.
