Verdict

Decision Maker came good at the 17th time of asking at Newcastle last month and is only 3lb higher so has to be respected while Socialites Red went up 5lb for scoring at Southwell and almost completed a double on a return visit. The latter isn't as well handicapped on Turf while eight-times winner One Boy could do with some rain. The latter's stable companion PATRICK (NAP) is on a very long losing run but has been given a chance by the assessor. He wasn't running badly from a much higher mark last season and will be better for his comeback at Wolverhampton. Spirit Power has been in good form on the all-weather but has never reached a place in five starts on Turf .
