BAIZICALLY finished behind Duneen Point at Worcester last month and is worse off at the weights here. But the fast ground wouldn't have suited the Irish raider that day and there's just a chance that he can turn the form around with Andrew McNamara back in the saddle. He gets a tentative vote as Upton Mead kept finding one too good in the spring and lacks a recent run while course and distance winner Doctor Ric is rocketing up the weights. Brough Academy is lightly-raced over fences but is hard to predict.
