In depth
Verdict
Martin Pipe can start the evening on a winning note with Getoutwhenyoucan, Lawyer Des Ormeaux and Leopold look to be the main rivals. The Nicolshayne handler does well with this type of performer, who has landed two points in very good style. ground and trip will be ideal today and he will be hard to beat. Lawyer Des Ormeaux is from a top yard and was a decent performer in the French provinces. He does have to overcome a long absence but nevertheless is given every respect. Leopold has been quite busy this year and has shown plenty of ability. His recent run behind Three Ships is about as good as it gets but he may be capable of reaching the frame. Seeador has bits and pieces of form and should prove best of the others, but in what could be a lucrative evening for Mr Pipe, Getoutwhenyoucan gets the vote.
