Verdict

CRACKSMAN had excuses when only narrowly getting up in the Coronation Cup last time out and back on a more conventional course, he could be very hard to beat. Cliffs Of Moher has returned in good form this season and could prove best of the rest for last year's winning trainer of this race while Eminent may be able to challenge for minor honours if he bounces back from a poor run at Chester last time.
