Escapeandevade is typical of Westerners as he likes to have everything to his liking and when it is, he is very good indeed.   He made his chasing debut at Wetherby in November where he jumped well and made a promising start to finish third.

His next outing was at Ayr where he won easily by 15 lengths and produced some spectacular jumps. He handled the heavy conditions very well and would always need some cut in the ground.   Carlisle did not suit him and his last run was at Haydock where he was not disgraced to finish fourth in a Class 3 race.

The Sire Westerner was a high-class performer in staying races including five Group 1s and coming second in the 2005 Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe.  He is now a highly successful NH sire with multiple Group 1 winners. 

Escape is half-brother to Camp David who was well placed in Bumpers and Ifyoucanseemenow  winner of two Points and now in training with Ben Pauling.   The second Dam has produced four winners including black type Dix Villez - a Cheltenham cross country Chase winner and Val du Ciron, a Bumper winner.
