Verdict
Gotham City had a run in a bumper last season for David Pipe and has now joined Tony Martin. But he'll probably need this and it's difficult to look beyond STONEHALL JACK. Barry Geraghty was on board when the progressing gelding was only beaten a length-and-a-half in a Limerick handicap earlier this month and keeps the partnership intact. Newcomer Mr Perrie looks nothing special on breeding and none of the others make much appeal.
