Most of these are old rivals on the track and beat each other in turn. My Good Brother has won six times here and TRIBAL PATH four and the latter arrives in excellent form having dropped down to this trip last week under Vanessa Maye and scoring with a bit in hand. He just gets the nod though Ticks The Boxes was just behind him in his previous race and that was his first start for Leanne Breen. He improved when just failing to catch surprise winner Ascot Dreamer last week. There should be little between the pair again while Comhghairdeas wasn't beaten far in a claimer last Tuesday and was well supported for a 7f handicap three days later which he duly won. However, the assessor has hit him with a 15lb rise, though he once won off 80 on Turf.
