Debauchery faces a straight forward task to see off Lord Norman and Forest Silver. Carl Llewellyn's presence in the saddle certainly inspires one's confidence about proceedings on Sunday and having shown evidence of ability in two starts thus far, it is hoped that the horse can ensure a double percentage payout for the rider. Lord Norman is open to improvement from a yard that do well with their horses here whilst Forest Silver looks to need further than this and is likely to be running on when others have cried enough. With the remainder showing little of any note under rules, it is easy to discount plenty but difficult to get away from Debauchery as the most likely winner.
