Verdict

Pillar was bought out of a seller at Southwell where he finished runner-up and he has to concede weight to all bar stable companion Society Ranger, rated 19lb below him but showing a hint of ability at Gowran last time. Kilteery Pier showed some potential early last season though over much shorter so, in a very poor contest, it's ESCAPE PARADISE who gets the call as she ran reasonably well at Dundalk in March before finding 1m3f beyond her at Limerick.
