Verdict

HOW DECC has recorded creditable in-frame efforts in handicap hurdles in recent months and this might be the day he comes good. Jaariam ran a solid first race for Seamus O'Donnell at Galway recently and is second choice. Gordon Elliott pair Emotional Damage and Minnie Beets failed to make an impact on their respective handicap debuts but still merit respect as unexposed types from a top yard.
