El Dececy would be chucked-in at the weights in the 2.00 at Bath if bouncing back to his best and makes plenty of each-way appeal at 8/1.
The gelding has been running better than his form figures suggest of late, and is now a massive 26lbs below his last winning mark.
Now in the care of Rae Guest, the seven-year-old showed plenty of pace at Brighton last time out until fading late on over the 10f trip, and it's inetresting that connections are now dropping him back markedly in distance to 6f.
He has shaped on a number of occasions as if the journey would suit and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa suggests to me that a big run is expected this afternoon.
There is little doubt that he is incredibly well treated and capable of winning this if coming back to anywhere near his best, and I would not be surprised to see him backed to do so this afternoon.
The stable like a punt, and at 8/1 he has to be of serious interest.
Recommended bet: 2pts each-way El Dececy (8/1 generally available - BOG firms)
