Cartmel Crystal Cup Handicap Hurdle Race

Tommie Beau was runner-up last time out, and won two starts back, form that supports our rating (third of 13). He has run over today's trip and going before, though a 54-day absence is the obvious knock.

Peaky Boy was sixth last time out, well below the level of his thirds three and two starts back. He has run over today's trip and going before and remains our confident pick on profile and fitness, though still winless in this sequence.

Homme Public shapes as one of the leading threats, third last time out, having pulled up two starts back. He has run over today's going before, and though still winless in this sequence, a 63-day absence aside, there's plenty of raw ability to fear here.

Caughtinyourtrance arrives in good heart, winning last time out, and was runner-up two and three starts back. He has run over today's trip and going before, with the only blemish a mid-sequence pulled-up run — otherwise a series of placed efforts makes him one to respect.

Shantwopointfive pulled up last time out, following a runner-up effort two starts back, and a win five starts back. A 196-day absence is now the main concern, though she has run over today's trip and going before, leaving a workmanlike profile assuming she retains full fitness.
