Billy Red usually finds at least one too good while Make My Dream disappointed at Leicester after winning at Warwick and lacks consistency. Dualagi could be interesting off a low weight if recapturing the form he showed when scoring over C&D in April while Brandywell Boy will make a bold effort to repeat last year's win in the race, though is 8lb higher this time around. Witchry, third at Salisbury on Tuesday, can never be discounted here but BARONS SPY should be all the better for last month's outing at Ascot and was second off a higher mark on the last occasion he raced in this grade. The top weight gets the vote.
