Verdict
Beryl Burton went close at Yarmouth last week though faces tougher opposition in this. City Escape has placed in both outings since landing a seller at Ripon last month but REGULATOR will be sharper for a recent comeback at Brighton. The latter was beaten only a neck on his first start after a wind operation and having won off a similar mark here last summer, Alex Dunn’s charge may prove the one to side with.
