1pt each-wayFor at least a week the intention in this column has been to oppose Cracksman at what seemed a ludicrously short price for the Betfred Dante Stakes (3.30) at York, but it seems he has already been rumbled in the market.

Quite what he was doing at 6-4 a week ago is surely beyond any rational form student – and the same must go for his current 7-1 Investec Derby odds.

It seems Cracksman's odds are based more on the fact he is by Frankel than on the evidence of the form book, which says he was all out to win the Epsom Derby Trial by a short head, recording a Racing Post Rating of 104.
