Verdict
ESCAPE THE CITY finished a respectable fourth over track and trip a fortnight ago despite running into trouble and having to be switched. She can build on that and come out best today. Greek Kodiac landed a novices' race at Chelmsford when last in action but was earlier beaten at Lingfield by Exmoor Beast while Junoesque notched-up four victories last year and is not badly treated on the last of those wins at Brighton. Slade King has gone close off today’s mark at Sandown and has a chance on that form while Melburnian goes handicapping for the first time on his reappearance.
