Evan Williams has sent two runners up from south Wales today and SUPREME ESCAPE (NAP) looks the pick of them. He was an eye-catcher on his handicap debut at Chepstow in a much better race than this and has been left on the same mark. Cathal's Star also remains unexposed and was staying on over a shorter trip here last month. Master Tradesman was sent off favourite at Hereford last month but is now 0-10 over hurdles and is proving hard to catch right. Lord Getaway has been chasing but Who's In The Box is entitled to be thereabouts again and is more consistent than Another Frontier.
