Cawthorne Cracker D

Dam: Ball Park (IRE)

Comment
Cawthorne Cracker arrives in cracking recent form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. However, he carries 152 lb off an official mark of 84, and our rating of 78 ranks him tenth of eleven, so he is hard to fancy.

Comment
Our rating of 92 against an official 85 makes Ms Cindy Kate a leading danger, and she has run over today's trip and going before, with a fourth two starts back and another fourth three starts back. The risk is a 171-day absence after being pulled up last time out, with 153 lb to carry.

Comment
Our third-ranked runner of eleven, Alidam steps up with a third three starts back as his best recent finish, and he sits on an official mark of 94 with 162 lb. Yet to win in his last five, he is unplaced last time and returns after 142 days off, which is the main risk.

Comment
Fourth last time out and a third three starts back show Thesoldiersminit is running with credit, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last five starts. Carrying 155 lb off 87 is a stiff ask, and our rating of 89 ranks him only sixth of eleven.

Sire: Churchill (IRE)

Comment
Paragon has finished fourth in two of his last three outings and is winless in his last five, though a 140-day break raises fitness questions. He has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 89 sits above his official 86, but 153 lb is a big burden.

Comment
National Question has been below his best lately, a fifth last time out and a sixth before that, and he returns after 136 days off carrying 154 lb off a mark of 86. Two wins in his last five and experience over today's trip and going count for something, but our rating of 80 ranks him ninth of eleven.

Sire: Iffraaj (GB)

Comment
Bodygroove has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 98 puts him second of 11, well clear of his official 88 off 156 lb, with a fresh-enough 22 days since his last run. The risk is plain: he is yet to score in his last four, unplaced last time and a sixth three starts back his best effort.

Comment
Bouboule has finished fifth in each of his last two starts and is back quickly after seven days, with experience of today's trip and going, but he's yet to win in his last five and carries 144 lb off 77. Our rating of 91 ranks him fifth of 11, so he's a midfield type.

Comment
Zeezee is winless in her last five and was eighth last time out, now returning after 299 days off, so she's hard to fancy; two seconds earlier in that run of form and prior experience of today's trip and going are the positives, though 142 lb is a big ask.

Comment
Plane Sailing is winless in his last four, with a seventh last time out following two pulled-up efforts, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns after 34 days. Carrying 153 lb off an official mark of 85, he looks a midfield sort, ranked eighth of 11 on our rating.

Comment
Nobotheratall has run over today's trip and on the going, and he's fresh from an 11-day turnaround, though a winner six starts back and a second five starts back sit behind three modest finishes. Our top-rated runner at 104 against an official 100, he looks the one to beat despite carrying 168 lb.
