Forecasts

Debece (1/6), Lord Du Mesnil (4/1), News For Pascal (66/1)

This looks a very straightforward task for DEBECE to add another win to his chasing CV having got off the mark over the larger obstacles last time out. He looks to have far too much quality to be troubled by his two rivals. Lord Du Mesnil ought to take second spot if official ratings are to be believed from News For Pascal who looks outclassed once again at the weights.
