I'm The Decider would be ideally suited by faster ground and a longer trip and as such may struggle on his comeback. Preference is for TOP BENEFIT, who scored at Market Rasen in March and ran really well off today's higher mark when third at Kempton last time. Stormhoek would be thereabouts if rediscovering the form of January's win at Ludlow though he's been well beaten of late and likewise That's The Deal, who has struggled badly since a C&D victory in March. Heavenly Chorus and Le Roi Rouge have ability but also a poor strike rate.
