Race preview
A wide-open contest but marginal preference is for ENCOURAGED, who has made a bright start for James Fanshawe since moving from Hong Kong in February and whose recent runs suggest this step up in distance is likely to suit. The rapidly improving Dembe is feared in his search for a five-timer, though being drawn widest of all is less than ideal. Course lover Uzincso could go well for John Butler, while it will be interesting to see how the unexposed Bearaway fares in the market on his handicap debut.
