Verdict
QUICK DECISSON may have just needed the run when a beaten favourite at Uttoxeter on his reappearance. His jumping was also a bit novicey but he'll have learned plenty from that and has nothing to fear from Whispering Harry on the form book - compensation awaits. Jumps Road is a possible danger as he won off a 7lb higher mark over hurdles on heavy ground in March. Lord Protector has also won on heavy going over hurdles and Sir Valentine also has claims on his second at Ludlow in January and he won over timber at Southwell in April. Zafranagar is fit from the Flat but was behind Jumps Road when last running over fences.
