I'M THE DECIDER wasn't beaten far over a shorter trip here on his first start since November. With that run under his belt and the longer trip sure to suit, Jonjo O'Neill's charge can return to winning ways. Lucky Mix finished a creditable fourth over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time and the half-sister to couple of winning chasers should take to the larger obstacles while both Five Out Of Five and Cullahill have the placed form over fences that entitles them to consideration. Baily Storm and Kirkhammerton arrive in good form but will need to improve to figure.
