6.15 – Escape to Glory 2 pt win 7/2 Hills and Coral, 3/1 generally

Escape to Glory was put up as a selection, for an ultra-competitive handicap at York last time, when he was surprisingly outpaced.  My view of him hasn’t changed.  I still think he is better than he has shown so far, and today he takes a big drop in class.  On the evidence of his last run, stepping him up to 7 furlongs should suit, and if he is ever going to fulfil his potential then he should certainly be winning races like todays.

9.05 – Landaman 2pt win 7/1 Paddy, 6/1 generally

Landaman was a selection on his return to action at Doncaster in March, as he struck me last year as the type to make up into a decent middle distance horse this season.  At Doncaster he travelled with purpose, and looked sure to play a hand in the finish, before his effort petered out.  Since then he has had 2 very disappointing runs on soft ground.  On the back of those 2 runs he is 7lbs lower than he was at Doncaster.  Now returning to a sound surface for the first time this year, he could well be exceptionally well handicapped.  If he is he should win.
