      Verdict

      I'm The Decider was on a going day when beating Farmer Frank over C&D last week. However, there's no guarantee he'll be in the same mood today and he also has a 7lb penalty to contend with. We prefer CHASE GATE, who seems to be getting the hang of jumping fences and won easily at Worcester last month. He's 11lb higher here but is still improving. Gaelic Flight is in the veteran stage now but in decent form and makes more appeal than Oscar Royal, who weakened quickly once ahead at Southwell on Sunday, and Royal Tender who is 20lb 'wrong' in the weights.
