Verdict
FIRMDECISIONS has won off today’s mark over track and trip in the past and went close at Yarmouth at the start of the month. He can confirm running with Majestic Moon and is also preferred to War Glory. The latter never figured over a mile last time but was narrowly beat over today’s trip at Lingfield before that. Little separated Eltezam and Baron Bolt at Goodwood recently while Ifwecan finished third to Carnival King at Yarmouth in August and the latter is closely matched with Ballymore Castle on latest running at Catterick.
