Verdict

SMART DECISION has won 5 of 8 starts and although foiled in his hat-trick bid at Haydock 17 days ago, he recorded another personal best. He looks the answer, though Medieval Gold won over C&D in November and despite being up 7lb, further success can't be ruled out with a first-time tongue strap applied for his new yard. Haarar produced a career best when winning at Haydock so also commands respect.
