      Verdict

      DEBT TO SOCIETY is very much a staying type whose last two victories came over 2m7f. He did manage to finish runner-up over this track and trip in May and though he never looked like getting to the winner this looks an easier task. Jonagold has run poorly on his last two starts while Taroum was beaten a distance over fences here last week. Winning bumper Le Legro has finished runner-up three times over timber though never looked like winning and the remaining trio look up against it.
