John Gosden sends DECORUM to post here and he can get the better of Guestofthenation and Calaloo. The selection ran well in a handicap when last seen out when he finished third behind Simon Gray. He was making his handicap debut that day so there should be more to come and with this trip ideal he sets the standard for the others. Guestofthenation is interesting as trainer Mark Johnston has his string in good form and this longer trip should play to his strengths. Calaloo has improved with his racing this season and the race he finished third in last time has worked out quite well. Naheell is a lightly-raced colt and he is making his handicap debut today so he is certainly one to note in the market, although he has been off the racecourse since November. An open race and the vote goes to Decorum.
