Verdict

WINTER ESCAPE will have to be very smart if he is to give weight away to these rivals and win but that was exactly what he looked when comfortably scoring in Grade Three company latest and a chance is taken that he has the class to overcome the penalty. There are dangers aplenty with impressive Naas winner A Plus Tard, a smart hurdler in France chief among them. Gordon Elliott runs five and Jack Kennedy's mount GUN DIGGER looks the brightest prospect after fairly bolting up latest.
  1. Winter Escape
  2. A Plus Tard
  3. Gun Digger
