Verdict
Cracow would eat these for breakfast at his best but he appears to have his own ideas about the game and a try over hurdles does not appear to have rekindled his enthusiasm however he is a course and distance winner and if he ordained to put his best foot forward he will win. Exclusion Zone looks the main danger he has been running well in much better handicaps of late and he looks more reliable than the likely favourite Cracow. Barbason loves this course but he may not get the fast pace which brings out the best in him. Cezzaro is from a bang in form yard and a market move could be significant.
