Verdict
Sister Slew is the only one of these to have won on this beach track though that was a 7f claimer two years ago. MY GOOD BROTHER ended a long losing spell when scoring over the minimum at Dundalk earlier this month and is still on a very lenient mark despite a 3lb rise so a quick double looks on the cards. Rigolleto looks best of Anabel Murphy's UK raiders after a very good run at Leicester but I Will Excel's only victory in 23 starts came over the minimum on Turf though Jamie Osborne's recent acquisition is expected to go well.
