In depth

Verdict

Michigan Assassin looked a useful prospect last summer before disappointing the last twice. However, it transpired that he broke a blood vessel when last seen here in October and a watching brief is advised. Therefore I'M THE DECIDER looks the one to be with, having been heavily supported on return from a break of over six months when scoring earlier this month. He has tumbled to a very attractive mark and can defy his penalty. Cold Harbour landed a conditional jockeys chase over C&D in March but has been trounced in two subsequent outings, making him hard to assess. Misamon enjoyed a good summer last year but is another struggling to find his form.
