My Good Brother has a tremendous record around here and is very well treated if anything like his best as he's 2lb lower than when scoring here in September when just in front of Mo Henry. The pair are very closely matched on that run while Mokhalad should be winning soon though his recent improved form has been over further. Lyfka has been running exclusively over 7f and could be suited by the drop in trip so should give a good account. SILK CRAVAT (NAP) has only had three all-weather runs, scoring on the sand at Laytown then producing two fine runs over 7f on this track. Surprisingly he's been lowered in the ratings due to readjustments and will take some beating.
