        Verdict

        Indecision, Silver Spruce and Terrasini make the shortlist in a poor claimer, with Indecision summing up our feelings but getting the vote. The grey, Silver Spruce, won a claimer on his debut, but has back-pedalled since, with little worthwhile form. However, this uis such a poor race that he looks capable of playing a part-at least he is back on his preferred surface after a shocker on the all-weather. A six figure Euro purchase, Terrasini has been highly tried, running in a maiden at Carlisle behind the classy Choose Your Moment and not disgraced, before finding the company too hot in a York maiden. Stepped up markedly in trip-his breeding suggests he may appreciate it-Terrasini looks interesting. Indecision landed a gamble when scoring in a seller last year and should be watched carefully in the market. He too tries a longer trip and recent efforts, though moderate in similar grade, suggest Indecision may be good enough to land this.
