Rated 84, SOUL BROTHER may have failed to land the odds at Ripon last week but separated a couple of horses of similar ability. Tim Easterby's colt had finished runner-up over track and trip earlier and will likely start odds-on to land this. Carnamoney was well beaten behind Soul Brother here in April while Lucky Times showed a bit more on her debut than than the tailed-off Panzi Potter Too did on her introduction. Patron Of Explores is related to a couple of winners and could prove the biggest danger on his first start.
