FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Plenty of these have questions to answer and so the in-form YOUCRACKMEUP looks the safest option. Versatile in terms of trip and ground, the Jessica Harrington-trained three-year-old impressed when making all on her most recent start at Galway, with subsequent winner Fratas eight lengths back in third. Upped 10lb for that success, the Cracksman bay is clearly improving and faces her toughest test to date now. Emmet Mullins saddles two of the 10 declared, with his Aurora Princess given second preference. She ran twice at Galway and was beaten by just a head over flights, disappointing on the level when turned out again quickly. Fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time now, she should give a good account of herself. Smooth Tom is another capable of making his presence felt, while Goodie Two Shoes and The Shunter both warrant respect.
