Verdict

Decider is back for another crack having won this last year on firm ground and he could get involved while Ginzan may figure having won over 6f at this track last year. She beat course regular My Meteor on that occasion and the latter looks too high in the weights at present while Amazing Win has struggled since recording her only win to date at Kempton in March. OH MY DAYS ran poorly on his handicap debut after a year off the track but he wasn't unfancied and he's given another chance in this company on only his fifth start.
