Verdict

Your Gifted is holding her form well and ended a frustrating run of seconds with a win at Lingfield last time. However, she has yet to shine in three previous starts at this track and DECIDER is just preferred. Three of his seven wins on the all-weather have been at this track and his recent form with Pelmanism was boosted on Saturday when the latter finished a close-up third at Lingfield. Mr Funshine is back on a winning mark and veterans Cape Royal and The Tatling are still capable of making the frame.
