My Escapade was third to Toola Boola here last month when Jebulani was another seven lengths adrift in fifth. Beyondtemptation was even further behind but has since finished second over track and trip and will almost certainly make the running again. Wot A Shot also likes to be prominent so it could pay to support one that is usually held up. LANDMEAFORTUNE is a very tentative selection with headgear applied as he's likely to be staying on in the closing stages. Beaumont's Party doesn't stand much racing nowadays but would have made short work of these in his prime.
