Verdict
CRACKINTHUNDER is appealing on the back of an encouraging handicap debut third over this C&D, on what was his first appearance following an eight-month absence. He should have more to offer and gets the nod ahead of Sixcor and Ski Angel, while both Dorothy May and Shatin Venture are also shortlisted.
