In depth

Verdict

MARTIN'S BRIG (NAP) completed a double over the trip at Southwell in December and was only headed in the final strides over a mile at Newcastle in February, form that may be good enough for this. Miss Calculation landed a handicap over the trip at Wolverhampton and was unlucky in-running back there last month so looks a threat. Enderman is 1-28 but has gone close on several occasions and is looking on a fair mark while Liberty Breeze completed a Catterick double last summer though that was on quick ground.
