Unless one of the newcomers is useful this looks between LA TIHATY and Melody Of Life. The former made his debut over the track and trip a fortnight ago and didn't get the run of the race when beaten a length. Compensation awaits here though Ian Balding's charge followed a promising debut at Kempton with a narrow defeat at Chelmsford and looks certain to be there at the finish. Got No Dollars is related to a couple of winners though it's Escapement who catches the eye on breeding as she's by Invincible Spirit out of a mare who won on the all-weather in France and is from a top-class family.
