The Sweet Escape

9st 5lb

J: Laura Pearson

T: David Loughnane

His fourth win of the year when doing it convincingly at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago; a 6lb rise might not be beyond him but, although he has run well on ground softer than good, recent soft and heavy-ground assigments were swerved; presumably he could have done without the recent rain.

Regressive maiden who's found her level for this yard, twice finishing second on turf last month, including over this sort of trip for the first time latest; needs to improve on previous AW work if she's to make it 14th time lucky.

Charlatan

9st 3lb

J: Tom Marquand

T: David Simcock

Gained his fifth AW success when winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; mixed results in four subsequent runs but he rallied for fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) in March; now returns to turf but he has placed form in this sphere and is not ruled out back up in trip.

13/2

Verdict

Fast Bullet (second choice) is respected following a 3lb rise for February’s C&D success but MERAPI built on her yard debut when keeping on into fifth at Wolverhampton last time and has been dropped another 2lb. Eutropia and Charlatan are others for the shortlist. [Harry March]
