ESCAPABILITY showed plenty of ability when placed twice over hurdles last season and he can register his first career success by taking this novices' hurdle. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions both in his favour and he can see off his rivals here with Diodorus who was a winner over hurdles in March while third place can go to Fleur Du Seuil who is making her debut for a new stable having shown ability in five starts in bumpers and over hurdles in France.
