Formscan By Gary Carson - REAL ENCOUNTER ran a big race on her return to action here 13 days ago and can make the breakthrough now. The Lucky Vega filly lost out by a neck to Allsortz after racing keenly and dropping back to the minimum trip now should suit. She can confirm form with Aughlish, who was a length-and-a-quarter behind her the last day. A bigger danger may be the 86-rated Namiid. Johnny Murtagh’s charge was a touch frustrating last season, when placed four times from eight starts, but had some really solid form as well. He makes his all-weather debut now and lacks a recent run. That might give the selection the edge.
