Verdict

BROTHERLY COMPANY (NAP) is only a pound higher than when second at Stratford in March and is back in the right grade today. It will be a surprise if he doesn’t pick up the winning thread again as most of his rivals are struggling for form. Work In Progress has shown nothing since returning from a spell chasing and King Cool ran poorly when favourite for a lesser race here last month. Not even Paul Nicholls could get a race out of Be Daring and Morthanalegend has been off the track for more than a year.
