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.

Form & Verdict
His two Flat wins have been over 1m6f and 2m on AW; won over hurdles at Worcester last summer but he's been generally disappointing since, including in three Flat runs this season; continues to drop down the weights but he was sixth of seven over C&D last time and others are preferred.

J: Neil Callan

T: John Butler

Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive.
