        Verdict

        MARTIN’S BRIG bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having overcome a high draw last time. He looked good value for more than the half-length winning margin and can go in again. Bond Boy won at Wolverhampton recently with previous winner Giselles Izzy back in fifth but Crocodile Power could only manage fourth when joint-favourite at the same track. Homer Stokes has a shout while Ri Na Farraige makes his handicap debut with Richard Fahey’s yard in fine form.
