Verdict
DEBECE only won a match at Warwick six days ago but still has a bit of scope in this sphere and will be getting 7lb, including jockey allowances, from Stratagem, who may struggle to last 3m on this quite testing circuit. Glen Forsa is a fascinating runner as he won a Class 3 handicap as recently as February but, along with Wagner, he’s another possibly better over shorter.
