Deliberation has the highest official rating by some way based on his debut third at Catterick in October. However, he's been trounced twice at Southwell this year and looks flattered by his mark and preference is for THE FIERY CROSS. Ian Semple's charge never figured over 7f last time, but finished fourth over C&D on last month's debut and may find the necessary improvement here with a 7lb claimer helping his cause. Chardonnay Star has the past form to figure, but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder.
