Verdict

BIG DEBATES run of good form came to a grinding halt in a handicap hurdle at Gowran last month, but it would be no surprise to see this 9-y-o bounce back returned to this sphere. He shades preference ahead of Railway Hurricane, who stepped up on his previous efforts over fences when runner-up at Fontwell and will be a big threat if able to build on that here. Stand Off also merits respect.
