Verdict

THE GREAT ESCAPE has saved his very best for this venue, capitalising on a much-reduced mark when successful over C&D 5 weeks ago. A token 2 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable and he rates a big player again. Fellow C&D winner Mancero is similarly compiling a solid course record and is a threat, with Redbridge Rambler another to note back over hurdles.
