Verdict

A few in with a squeak but returning from 9 months off, STOLEN ENCOUNTER improved for the step up in trip when going down by a narrow margin at Wolverhampton earlier this month and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Archie Watson's 4-y-o can open his account. Foinix is holding his form well this year so he's second choice, with Liberated Lad and top-weight Scarborough Castle taken to fight out third.
