In depth
Verdict
ESCAPABILITY has changed stables and was probably a bit unfortunate not to make a successful reappearance at Naas where he didn't get the breaks at a crucial time. He looks best of those with experience as Way Back Home showed his best form on quicker ground. Intense Expression has a smart pedigree while Seekamist should be ideally suited to the trip and ground.
