    Verdict

    ELEGANT ESCAPE (NAP) has novice form which looks rock-solid. Though unable to confirm Newbury running with Black Corton in the Kauto Star at Kempton, he was only beaten a length-and-a-half and was overturning earlier running here with Ballyoptic, who won the Towton at Wetherby last week. Ramses De Teillee has won twice at Chepstow this season but the runner-up last time was beaten at Bangor on Friday. Pobbles Bay has been disappointing so far this season and this looks a big ask for Chic Name following a lengthy absence.
