Race preview
CLASSIC ENCOUNTER remains unexposed and got off the mark over a mile at Redcar last month. The four-year-old faces a tougher task here, but he may still have more to offer and a 4lb rise appears to be fair. Crack Shot showed promise when third on his debut for these connections at Kempton recently and he should not be discounted. Others to consider are Dolce Courage, Mr Baloo and Cogitate.
