First-time headgear might help bring CRACKSMAN back to his best and he will be hard to beat if he can get close to his performance in this last year. Stablemate Monarchs Glen is an interesting contender and he's lightly raced for his age. Capri is the first string for Aidan O'Brien but it might be worth taking a chance on Rhododendron at a likely much bigger price with conditions ideal for her here.
