Debauchery is marginally preferred to Synchronised in an interesting start to proceedings. Connections have been patient with the selection who has had just the one start this season. He was sent off as favourite on that occasion and ran respectably to finish a distant third over two and a half miles at Lingfield. This testing track should suit and underfoot conditions hold no fears so we can expect him to be in the shake-up. Synchronised caught the eye on debut at Chepstow as he stayed on takingly to finish second. He should appreciate this longer trip and normal improvement from his initial experience would see him go close. Fal Agh Bagh posted an improved effort last time but has to prove he can handle soft ground, Earcomesthedream has shown promise in bumpers and could go well if taking to hurdling, General Potter is another hurdling debutant to be interested in but we prefer Debauchery.
