Verdict

MAGICAL ESCAPE, Haiti Couleurs and Awaythelad are likely to emerge as the chief protagonists, with preference for the first-named who took a big step forward when a clear second at Chepstow, form which was boosted when the third scored next time. Haiti Couleurs found only a useful novice too good at the same course and he is open to improvement, while Awaythelad was also runner-up on his latest start and should go one better before long. Bumper winner Ted's Gift could be best of the rest.
