Just a day after the DTTW Partnership enjoyed success at Cheltenham with First Assignment, War Brigade got off the mark at Newbury under Brodie Hampson.
The win was gained in dramatic circumstances as he passed the post a short head behind Press Gang, but the Stewards reversed the placings after a long enquiry.
Apart from the incident in the closing stages, Brodie had done nothing wrong and hopefully now this late maturing stayer can progress.
