DEBECE has a point to prove following two inauspicious performances since returning from a 19-month spell on the sidelines. On the upside, the handicapper has relented and this 10-y-o is of strong interest starting out for Dan Skelton here, having undergone wind surgery and now tried in cheekpieces. Eclair de Guye and Boughtbeforelunch, both second over this C&D last time, are live dangers.
