      Verdict

      Militry Decoration was well behind Genesius at Wolverhampton two runs ago but the latter has only raced beyond 1m4f once before and didn’t appear to stay. Smith is only a pound higher than when successful over course and distance in May but REECELTIC has the more recent form having won here last month with a bit in hand. Pat Phelan’s gelding has gone up 5lb but can reverse Chelmsford running in the spring with Central City. Arabescato is back on a winning mark but Russian Rumour struggles to get his head in front.
