Verdict

Wolverhampton specialist Critical Thinking is on a long losing run and has been done no favours by the draw dropping back in distance. Toptime held off Inclement Weather here earlier in the month with Steelriver third but will not find it easy to confirm that form at the revised weights. Roy Bowring also runs DECISION MAKER with the dual course winner back on an artificial surface for the first time since winning at Wolverhampton last May when only 3lb lower. Dabirstar could also go well on his reappearance.
