DECIDER is steadily running into form and went close at Southwell on his second start back from a lay-off. He should be spot on now and Ron Harris' charge can register his fifth win on Polytrack. Fromsong was placed over C&D last time but his victories are becoming increasingly rare and Edith's Boy could pose a bigger threat to the selection. Simon Dow's gelding is back on a winning mark and returned from a break with a good effort behind today's rival Estonia. He can reverse the form with that run under his belt.
