Verdict

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER shaped very well having had 9 months off when fifth in a Newcastle novice 16 days ago having been caught further back than ideal. Now handicapping from what could well prove a lenient mark, he earns the vote, ahead of Mick Appleby's Terries Royale who patently shaped best when runner-up at Doncaster 11 days ago. Amsterdam and Pressure's On are another pair to consider in an interesting finale.
