Verdict
OLD BRIGADE has failed to complete in either start this year but AP McCoy is back on board this afternoon and it would be no surprise to see Jonjo O'Neill's seven-year-old bounce back to form against modest opposition. After three wins the spring, Bajan Sunshine came unstuck at Market Rasen last month and looks high enough in the weights now. The Kealshore Kid has been well below par this term, but Gunner Rose won over C&D last month and could make a bold bid to defy the inevitable weight rise as he is only lightly raced.
