        Verdict

        Recent winners Shamahan and The Dark Wizard are both upped in class but Decision By One should make another bold bid on the back of a head defeat at Haydock. Zhiggy's Stardust recorded a double over course and distance before finding one too good at Lingfield but looks likely to be taken on for the lead by Saloomy today. The latter made all at Newmarket last month but this may well pan out in favour of TWENTY ONE CHOICE. He's done all his winning over 7f but a fast pace will bring his stamina into play so Ed De Giles charge gets the nod.
