Suzi's Decision was good value for her success at Pontefract over 1m2f last month, should appreciate the extra two furlongs today and is taken to defy what initially seems a harsh 10lb rise in the weights, with Paul D'Arcy's filly getting the verdict over Gala Casino Star and Stop On. The last mentioned opened her account at the fifth time of asking when landing a Folkestone maiden last month and looks reasonably well treated for her debut in this grade but she is not certain to stay this far so looks best watched. Mark Johnston's Yes Mr President was beaten a long way out at Chester last time and is better than he showed that day but is hard to back with any confidence. Resplendent Light is far from certain to stay this far, while Bourse takes a big step up in distance having not run further than a mile previously. Richard Fahey's Gala Casino Star comes into this in good form having won his last two starts and looks fairly treated off just a 4lb higher mark than when landing a mile handicap at Newcastle last week but he is less likely to appreciate this trip than Suzi's Decision, who gets the vote.
