Verdict

CAWTHORNE CRACKER is taken to step up on an encouraging comeback run at Market Rasen last month and strike for a stable enjoying a good spell. The main threat may come from Captain Cool, who has built up a solid record in handicap hurdles and appeals as the type to do even better over fences (point winner).

6	Best effort over hurdles when third on 17f Newton Abbot handicap debut 11 days ago. From the family of Denman so possible this switch to fences could see her in an even better light. 3rd Pick 6 Miss Denver Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	88	-	-	-	10%
