Verdict
MY GOOD BROTHER completed a hat-trick when landing this off a 4lb higher mark a year ago. He'd won at Laytown on his previous start and was only just beaten there earlier this month so look primed for his eighth all-weather success. Haqeeba has never won here and been raised a massive 10lb for winning at Bellewstown while Lapilli, three times a winner in five starts for William Haggas, makes his debut for new connections from a high enough mark. Alfredo Arcano completed a double here at the turn of the year and Aggression is 2lb lower than when scoring here in November.
