Verdict
It was soft ground when Galway Jack landed a double in February and Knocklong also scored in testing ground at Catterick last month. Hindon Road was runner-up on good going at Market Rasen last year and has been placed in point-to-points recently but DECADE PLAYER gets a tentative vote in a tight contest. Outclassed and eventually pulled up at Aintree last time, he landed a couple of these events last year and won between the flags at High Easter last month.
