Our view
Best selection: Nutcracker. Recent figures of 2125 – includes a recent win; 44 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Tony Carroll has had 116 winners from 1022 runners in our recent records.
The case against: Berning Hot is close on the numbers; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Berning Hot and Rainbow Sign.
