FIRST ENCOUNTER (5) is starting to race consistently with two runner-up finishes past three outings including placing second in a 1m Chelmsford handicap last time. May go one better. MOUNT MOGAN (1) left behind four disappointing efforts to place 0,5L second in a course and distance handicap. Holds winning form at this venue. Will be thereabouts once more. KONDRATIEV WAVE (3) failed to place past six attempts. Missed the placings when fourth at Newcastle eleven days ago. Holds winning track and trip form and could be in the mix. BEAR TO DREAM (2) cannot be discounted after a last-start fourth.
