Verdict

Martila won this race last year off just a 2lb lower mark and has obvious claims of a repeat if fit and ready to go. TAXMEIFYOUCAN is a horse with lots of potential to kick on in this sphere and looks interesting here having had a pipe opener on the flat last month. It will be interesting to see what the market makes of Potters Story on return from an absence.
