Racing Post verdict
Third-partyMartymill holds a clear edge over the rated rivals on these figures, sitting eight pounds ahead of Tommy's Ticket and considerably further clear of Loves A Laugh, though three unrated runners introduce a degree of uncertainty over this extended trip at Downpatrick. Tommy's Ticket represents the most obvious threat among those we can assess, with Loves A Laugh needing a big step forward to get involved. On known form, the case points one way. **Martymill** is our selection.
