In depth

Verdict

Exchange Rate and MY SISTER SARAH represent Willie Mullins here. The former hasn’t run since second in the 2018 November Handicap at Naas and is ridden by a 10lb claimer but the latter has Wayne Lordan on board and is fit from hurdling. She has some very smart form over timber to her credit and a mark of 73 underestimates her ability. Jake Peter also has some decent form to his credit and has dropped to a winnable mark while Brazos is a heavy-ground performer who has won around here and over the trip. Lynwood Gold is back on the same mark as when scoring at the Curragh last July.
