Verdict
Vive La France has been well beaten in both starts for Tony Martin after arriving from France but a first-time hood may help. Maxim Gorky hasn't progressed as expected and has done his winning on soft ground but XSQUARED looked well at home on good going at Ballinrobe and though raised 9lb looks capable of completing a double before heading for Galway. Kilcarry Bridge completed a double in May but couldn't handle a big weight rise at Roscommon so Casimir Road looks more of a threat after a very good second to Desertmore Stream at Punchestown. Security Breach acts on any ground and will be all the better for his run on the level last month, his first since September.
