ESCAPEANDEVADE shaped really well on his first run for Harry Derham when runner-up at Worcester last month and gets a confident vote to go one better here with that form having been franked since. Gentleman Bill could emerge as the chief threat on the back of a promising chasing debut Aintree third, with Miralago and Sunnyvilla also not out of things.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Escapeandevade could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Gentleman Bill is one who may benefit.
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.
