MARTATOR showed no signs of his progression coming to a halt when bringing up the 5-timer in fine style at Ascot 5 weeks ago and, despite the handicapper applying further pressure, Venetia Williams' 7-y-o could well be up the task. Edwardstone, having a rare crack in a handicap in this sphere, and Boothill head up the dangers, with Editeur du Gite another not dismissed lightly returned to this C&D from a much-reduced mark.
