Verdict
Very trappy as the level is poor but MY ESCAPADE has returned from a lengthy break in seemingly strong form with a couple of commendable Perth efforts, scoring last time at the Scottish venue under similar conditions. A raise of 4lb seems acceptable and another solid effort is anticipated with his amateur rider and regular partner claiming a valuable 7lb. Cowslip represents leading connections but has to concede weight all round although she is the sole course and distance winner in the field and is shortlisted accordingly. Richard Johnson is a rare booking for Sophie Leech on Dothraki Raider, whilst the likes of It's Buster. Shanaway and Notnowsam are others with claims in a very open contest.
