Escapeandevade
3rd
My Noble Lord
Cases can be made for most of these and the suggestion is MASTER BREFFNI, who was progressive switched to fences last term and shaped well all things considered on return at Catterick. The forecast slower ground here won't be an issue, neither will the drop in trip given that this promises to be a strongly-run affair. The form of Escapeandevade's latest C&D effort looks very solid and he is a much-respected main danger. The 4-y-o My Noble Lord and Cabhfuilfungi are others to consider.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Escapeandevade should still be served best by being ridden prominently: The leaders will have to go harder than the predicted pace forecast if the hold-up horses such as Cabhfuilfungi are going to come into things.
Individual Price Hint: Escapeandevade traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts: Netywell traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 5 starts.
