Brandywell Boy, Reviving and Welsh Dragon look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Brandywell Boy. The selection built on his debut run at Newmarket when a good second behind Montzando at Sandown last time. If he improves again for that run then he should take plenty of beating here. Reviving finished in front of our selection when they were both making their racecourse bow at Newmarket. That was a good effort and he is respected here, but our selection has since come out and shown improvement and that extra run might just help him to prevail tonight. Welsh Dragon is from a top yard so has to be respected, but on breeding he looks as though he might be better over further, and we are happy to stick with Brandywell Boy as our idea of the winner.
