Race Verdict
Merry Terry and Major Decision are hard to assess with most of their recent form delivered in the pointing arena, with the former also returning from an absence. He's also revealed useful ability over regulation fences the last twice and could go close if ready for this return to action for team Tizzard. However, ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES is preferred. He is limited but stays the trip, handles the ground, is in form and receives weight all round. Daarth has gone well over timber the last twice and could spoil the party if handling fences on only his second outing over larger obstacles.
Selection: Absolute Shambles
Danger: Merry Terry
Alternative: Daarth
