      Verdict

      Gorgeous General won this a year ago when successful four times in a six-weeks spell. He's gradually dropped to a winnable mark and was returning from a break when third here on Friday. Robsdelight gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up on the track and duly obliged next time. He's only been raised 1lb so has to be respected but DECISION MAKER will take some beating. A winner here early last month, he repeated the process in easy fashion a week ago and though raised 8lb comes here with a 5lb penalty. Deeds Not Words has won 17 times in a long career including a double at Chelmsford last month but has never run here while Puchita is 0-32.
