Fools Entire, Wind Chime and Spy Gun are sure to have their supporters in this finale but we will seek a bit of value and side with Baby Barry. The selection was a little disappointing last time but he had given the impression prior to that that his turn might not be far away, and at the forecast odds he looks worth chancing. He has not had much racing so far this season so there is every chance that he has yet to put his best foot forward this term. Fools Entire was a good second behind Gem Bien over this course and distance last time but that was in an amateur riders' handicap so it is not clear just how reliable the form is. Wind Chime will not be far away but he might just be in the grip of the handicapper at present. Spy Gun may therefore give our selection the most to do. He has been in fair form of late and he normally goes well here. He has claims but for the winner we will stick with Baby Barry.
