        In depth

        Verdict

        STAR CRACKER returned to winning ways over track and trip last time and this looks easier. He’s taken to confirm latest running with Someone Exciting in a weak contest. Blackcurrent came up short once again when favourite over 5f at Wolverhampton though still finished in front of Sharrabang while Poppy May was placed in a seller recently and this is no tougher. Dodgy Bob won over 7f here last month and Chocoholic is one of the least exposed.
