In depth
Verdict
DECISION MAKER is well clear of the others with a handicap rating and came up against higher-rated horses when fourth in a maiden at Newcastle last time. A first-time tongue-tie could make all the difference in this and Roy Bowring’s charge gets the nod. Gustavo Fring is less exposed and finished runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton recently. He looks the main threat given Angel Palanas should have done better when behind fourth-placed Excellent World over track and trip during the week and the rest are even harder to fancy.
