        Verdict

        A tight handicap chase here with not much between them on ratings.However the principals look to be Executive Decision, Reach The Clouds and Superb Leader and we will take a chance on Executive Decision The nine year old was a good second behind The Indispensable in a hurdle last time and now he switches back to the larger obstacles he is taken to score with conditions in his favour.Reach The Clouds would be hard to beat if he ordained to put his best foot forward as he is well in on his best form but he does not like to have his head in front. Superb Leader was a good second behind Russian Gigolo last time and is another that could go well but he has been let down by his jumping of late. Of the remainder Monte Cristo is a course and distance winner on a fair mark but he disappointed last time so we are happy to stick with Executive Decision.
