Verdict

Aodhagan Conlon managed to persuade the reluctant BRILLIANT to put his best foot forward at Fakenham nine days ago. Paddy Brennan has the job today and third home Brigadore is 4lb better off, which should make things interesting. But Alan Jones' grey emptied quickly at the Norfolk track which doesn't bode well for his chances of getting home on this much stiffer course so we'll take Debra Hamer's charge to go in again. Low Delta is a regular in this type of contest but better over further so more interesting may be Andy Gin, who is now in the veteran stage but has gone well here in the past and was third on his reappearance after a long lay-off over C&D earlier this month.
