The Sweet Escape

9st 10lb

J: Laura Pearson

T: David Loughnane

Tough type who has been on the go since last December, winning at Nottingham and just touched off at Leicester (both at about 1m), but seemingly suited by the shortest trip he's tackled this year when making all over C&D 11 days ago; back up 3lb; can go well again.

Consistent since his Nottingham win in April (good) and latest race at Hamilton for which he was favourite didn't go to plan; ideally wants further, however.

J: Rowan Scott

Took advantage of a drop back in trip and ease in grade (into a Class 6) when scrambling home at Nottingham (8.5f, good; from 3lb lower) in April; beaten by a nose off this mark at Leicester (1m) in May and consistent since; possible.

Signed off for Ed Dunlop with respectable fifth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good; visored) in April but was always behind on recent stable debut (1m, AW; no headgear) and it's hard to know what to expect from her over this new trip; blinkers refitted.

Hold-up filly who went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on her penultimate run but she didn't fire there last time; still lightly raced on turf but she's not easy to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run; switch of headgear.

0-14 but she finished runner-up twice here (1m/1m1f) last month and had another close call at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; on same mark as for her last two runs and she should make another bold bid; cheekpieces added.

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.

0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence.

No win in her first 13 starts but she's won three of her last four including at Bath (1m/1m2f) in her last two runs; up 3lb for her narrow success last time but she's open to more progress and is versatile ground-wise; big player back down in trip.

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]
