Verdict

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, a Shamardal colt out of a Grade 1-winning half-sister to Ghaiyyath, possesses an outstanding pedigree and despite being drawn widest on debut, is taken to make a successful debut. Fellow newcomer Miletus also warrants plenty of respect, whilst Quatre Bras can build on his encouraging debut effort back in more realistic company.
