Verdict — our pick: Norflondonforever
Norflondonforever heads our ratings on 69 and gets the nod in this modest Class 6 contest over 11 furlongs at Southwell. He is only narrowly ahead of Fleur de Mer on 67 and Risen Again on 66, so this is no formality, but that edge is enough to make him the one to beat. Revelio on 64 also has to be respected, while the rest look to have plenty to find on our figures, with Beat The Odds and Rajawail well adrift. Norflondonforever is our selection.

1. He's Our Cracker(5)Form: 506841
J: George Wood · T: Jennie Candlish · 4yo · 9st 11lb · OR 57 · trainer 23% (14d)
By Inns Of Court out of Na Zdorovie (Cockney Rebel) · Owner: Paul Clare Rooney
He's Our Cracker won last time out and is back after just four days, but a fourth two starts back and an eighth three starts back show how patchy the rest of his form is. He has run over today's trip and going, carries 137 lb from stall five, and our rating of 59 ranks him sixth of nine.
2. Risen Again(9)Form: 066229
J: Luke Morris · T: John & Rhys Flint · 5yo · 9st 9lb · OR 60 · trainer 0% (14d)
By No Nay Never out of Easter Lily (Galileo) · Owner: Burnham P D Ltd
Risen Again arrives after a ninth last time out, but he was second two starts back and second again three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 66 sits above his official 60, though he remains yet to win in his last six, which is the main risk.
3. Revelio(1)Form: 902545
J: Jack Callan · T: Tom Clover · 4yo · 9st 9lb · OR 60 · trainer 42% (14d)
By Frankel out of Cloak Of Spirits (Invincible Spirit) · Owner: Hambleton Racing Ltd Xlv
Revelio has been consistent without a win, finishing fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a second four starts back, and he has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 64 sits four above his official 60, but 33 days since his last run is the main risk.
4. Norflondonforever(3)Form: 800474
J: Tom Eaves · T: Faye Bramley · 5yo · 9st 9lb · OR 60 · trainer 33% (14d)
By Exceed And Excel out of Alchemilla (Dubai Destination) · Owner: Mrs Penelope Walshe
Norflondonforever heads the ratings, and he has run over today's trip and on the going before, having finished fourth last time out just 21 days ago. He is yet to win in his last six starts, but our rating of 69 sits well above his official 60 and makes him the one to beat from draw 3.
5. Fleur de Mer(2)Form: 364325
J: Paul Mulrennan · T: Martin Todhunter · 6yo · 9st 6lb · OR 57 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Dark Angel out of Hespera (Danehill) · Owner: Mr Mrs G F Hall Racing
Fleur de Mer has been in the frame in three of her last six, including a second two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 67 ranks her second of nine. Yet to win in that spell, she returns after a fifth last time out, which is the main risk.
6. Spec of Light(6)Form: 758843
J: Gina Mangan · T: Tony Forbes · 4yo · 9st 2lb · OR 53 · yard form 59%
By Muhaarar out of Beaming (Shamardal) · Owner: Tony Forbes
Third last time out and fresh enough at 19 days, Spec of Light has run over today's trip and going, but he's winless in his last six and was eighth on two of the three starts before that. Our rating of 61 sits well clear of his official 53, though he carries 128 lb from stall six.
7. Highfield Comrade(4)Form: -13330
J: Jason Hart · T: John & Sean Quinn · 4yo · 8st 13lb · OR 50 · trainer 14% (14d)
By Sogann out of Miss Tree (Literato) · Owner: Trainers House Enterprises Ltd
Highfield Comrade was unplaced last time out and is back after 174 days off, which makes him hard to fancy, though three thirds in the three runs before that, and a win five starts back, show he can pay his way. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him seventh of nine.
8. Beat The Odds(8)Form: 6-9865
J: Cam Hardie · T: Antony Brittain · 4yo · 8st 9lb · OR 43 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Muhaarar out of Beatbybeatbybeat (Poet's Voice) · Owner: Antony Brittain
Winless in her last five, with finishes of fifth last time out, then a sixth, an eighth, a ninth and a sixth, Beat The Odds is hard to fancy, and 41 days off the track does little to help. She has run over today's trip and going before and is on an official mark of 43 from draw 8, but our figures rank her eighth of nine.
9. Rajawail(7)Form: 607000
J: Faye McManoman · T: Brian Rothwell · 6yo · 8st 9lb · OR 39 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Rajasinghe out of Yawail (Medicean) · Owner: S P Hudson Brian Rothwell
Rajawail is winless in her last six, unplaced in her last three and without a finish better than sixth in that spell, so she is hard to fancy back quickly after four days off. She has run over today's trip and going, and an official rating of 39 is low, but our figures rank her last of nine.
