Escalating will be popular with punters after Sunday's course success (5F). He'd previously finished third to an in-foal Richard Whitaker trained mare Tumblewind at Pontefract late last month, and meets another today in the shape of cosy Newcastle winner Love Island. She has one final attempt at racing before becoming a Mum, but this is a stronger contest than the small field affair she won at Newcastle recently. Rantan ran well last week, but needs cut and Haydock to be deployed at maximum effect, so the vote goes to the increasingly well treated GEORGE BOWEN. Admittedly he's not won for quite a while, but his trainers horses are in excellent form and he ran a cracker in a Class 2 Handicap at Epsom on Derby Day.
