MACS DILEMMA has been knocking on the door of late, including when a close third back on turf at Windsor 2 weeks ago, so makes the most appeal off a similar mark. Secret Potion also shaped well in a similar event there and has now dipped below his last winning mark, so is next best ahead of Portelet Bay.
