Formscan - BRANDY MCQUEEN has been highly consistent lately and he is fancied to gain compensation after finishing runner-up in each of his last three starts. He was a good second off this mark at Aintree last month and, with nothing to fear in regards to the trip or ground, he has a lot going for him. Starlyte and Cosmic Outlaw both won last time out and can also go well.
