ESCALATING was a beaten favourite last time when strongly fancied to follow up a Southwell success for Mick Appleby. He was noted putting in some good work at the finish having encountered trouble in running and then being forced to come wide into the straight. He can go one better here at the expense of former stable companion
Bouclier who may the 6lb penalty asking a little too much.
Sophisticated Heir is usually thereabouts and, with an in form 5lb claimer on board, he looks sure to be thereabouts again.
