Inescapable⁴¹

Showed some hints of ability when fifth in a maiden here in November, could make some progress now.

Forecasts

Rock In Peace (5/4), Thomas O'Malley (7/4), Inescapable (6/1), Caesar's Comet (12/1), Eternal Endeavour (14/1), Quiet Company (20/1), Boy Charlton (33/1), Autumn Breeze (50/1), La Cumparsita (50/1), Main Pulse (66/1), Boketto (66/1), Bonnie Flyer (66/1), Dunleer (80/1), Lucky Icon (100/1)

Thomas O'Malley looks sure to be popular again but he has already had a few chances and is poor enough value at the forecast prices. Preference is for the newcomer CAESAR'S COMET, trainer is much-respected here and breeding suggests every chance of a winning start. Rock In Peace will eventually push through the door while Eternal Endeavour is another debutant worth looking out for in the betting. 1. Caesar's Comet 2. Thomas O'malley 3. Rock In Peace
