KRACKATOA KING might just get the better of the argument with Yanmare in what could turn into something of a slog up the Towcester hill. Beaten favourite on his last three outings, the addition of the visor might just do the trick and he is narrowly favoured. Despite a steep rise in the weights Yanmare remains in form and could take advantage of any slips from the selection. Flashjack looked out of sorts last time, but if back on song would not be out of this on the pick of last season's efforts.
