      Verdict

      Martin Pipe may have bigger prizes on his mind this afternoon but he will no doubt be disappointed if Celtic Son cannot pick up here. Basilea Star and the old-boy Crazy Horse can pose a few problems along the way, while Jack Martin could also go well if he has not suffered any ill effects from his fall last time out. Crazy Horse fared well over inadequate trips in both his previous starts his term and still retains a fair amount of ability. However, is becoming a risky betting proposition these days and remains one for the brave only in this company. Basilea Star is one of a handful of horses that has helped Ferdy Murphy attain his best start to a campaign for a while and he again should run his race. However, he has been kept very busy of late and this grueling test of stamina may come around a little too soon for him. Especially when consideration of how well Celtic Son looked when winning at Exeter last week and the 7lb extra he carries is not expected to be of much hindrance to this progressive individual today.
