Verdict
This looks tricky but DECIDING MOMENT could well outclass these if in the mood. This trip may be slightly beyond his best but the ground will suit and he handled these fences well enough in the autumn. Allanard was tailed off when Cape York won over 2m6f here in March but Malcolm Jefferson's gelding has been beaten twice since off today's mark. Susquehanna River is the only course and winner in the line-up so is respected but Tullamore Dew is now in the veteran stage while Wolf Shield has two ways of running. Sedgemoor Express, however, is only 3lb higher than his last winning mark and must go well having placed at Stratford and Kempton lately.
