At the head of the ratings alongside Betty's Tiara, The Great Escape is preferred here on the strength of a progressive profile that suggests there may still be more to come over this stamina-testing twenty-three furlongs at Worcester, and that upward trajectory makes a compelling case in a competitive sixteen-runner Class 5 field. Betty's Tiara, rated level on the day, represents the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed, while Fiskardo and Cinnodin, both narrowly behind on ratings, will need to be seen off in what shapes as a genuinely open contest. The selection is taken on trust to confirm its improvement, though the depth of the field means any number of these runners could make things uncomfortable. The Great Escape is our selection.
