I'm The Decider is 3lb lower than when successful over C&D a year ago but finished tailed off at Southwell on his latest start. Iheardu was beaten less than a length by Papradon at Worcester nine days ago, however, and makes much more appeal than Deb's Dasher, who was handed victory over 2m1f here four weeks ago when Rajnagan unseated his rider at the last. DOUBLE CHOCOLATE is an out-and-out stayer and got outpaced over C&D a fortnight ago but his stamina will be an asset if the rain has got into the ground and he gets a tentative vote.
