CRACKLING FIRE (1) resumes after seventy four days. Finished sixth in a 4200m maiden hurdle at Warwick when last seen. Lightly raced and expected to return stronger. THE G WIZARD (4) posted consecutive seconds at Musselburgh tackling 4000m most recently defeated 2L. Consistent performer and is a leading contender again.

Last start finished third of 8 starters at this track on January 29 over 3200m, on slow going 12 len behind Stede Bonnet with 72kg at $7. The start before that; finished fourth of 11 starters at Leopardstown on December 29 over 4123m, 14 len behind Frankie John carrying 75.5kg at $26. Might find this a bit too tough.

Recent form hard to fault. Last run held ground to the line finished second of 12 starters at Musselburgh on February 1 over 4000m, 2 len behind Speiriuil with 74.5kg at $4.30. Start before finished second in a small field at Musselburgh on December 22 over 4000m, 1.0 len behind Judicial Deference carrying 71.5kg at $4.20. Right in the mix if he is at his best.
