FIRST ENCOUNTER (2) turned in an eye-catching run over 1m3f at this track last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Will drift back but is expected to be in the finish again. TWILIGHT TALE (8) progressed nicely last time out when she did her best work late to finish just 1. 75 lengths from the winner in second over 1m3f at this track. Worth noting Clint Johnston-Porter goes aboard. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. ROCKING SOCIETY (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fifth over 1m1 1/2f at York, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Unbeaten in two starts at the third run in so a big run is likely. WEMBANYAMA (6) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish 1. 75 lengths away in fifth over 1m1f at this track. Outdashed but got home well and appears suited by the longer journey. Can sneak into the finish.
