In depth

Verdict

Irish raider MY BROTHER (NAP) was having his first start since running in a Listed contest in October when just failing to catch tonight's rival Gaelic Tiger over slightly shorter here last month. He's only 1lb higher and can reverse places with the winner and go one better, though compatriot Warp Factor looks a threat. Pat Shanahan's charge has run well over hurdles since three fine performances in handicaps in May and it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish. Sennockian Star has won 14 races and is slowly dropping to a fair mark though didn't run well at Ayr last time but Al Destoor has a 9lb hike in the ratings to overcome after an impressive victory in lower grade at Chester.
