CLASSIC ENCOUNTER made a winning reappearance at Redcar before finding only one too good over course and distance. He drops down a grade and George Boughey's charge can launch another serious challenge off his current mark. Mythical Guest could also prove competitive at this level arriving on the back of a creditable second at Ascot, while Royal Velvet could be on the premises too. |
The two to stand out are Mythical Guest, who likes it here and has kicked off the campaign in good fashion with two placed efforts in deeper races than this, and CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, who won on handicap debut when returned to action in April before his latest run when a fine second over course and distance in a class 3 handicap. The latter gets the vote given there's a bit more scope for improvement from George Boughey's gelding. Where's Freddy posted perhaps his best effort yet in defeat last time and can edge out Royal Velvet, who made an encouraging comeback last time and Helm Rock, who must bounce back from a disappointing run but would be bang there if giving best |
