An open-looking handicap where the market to guide. BAREFOOT WARRIOR (2) sets a good standard as the David O'Meara-trained gelding debuted with a placing at Thirsk before getting off the mark tackling the trip at the same venue. Made it back-to-back successes with a gutsy Newcastle triumph in latest. Major player racing when resuming. CLASSIC ENCOUNTER (11) found the frame in three from six flat starts including a decent third of ten effort at Southwell while the runner-up has subsequently been victorious. Danger. EMPIRE OF LIGHT (9) placed both course and distance outings. In the mix. CRUYFF TURN (5) is three from six at the track and commands respect.
