Formscan  - A drop into classified company proved just the tonic for recent Wolverhampton winner FIRST ENCOUNTER. The five-year-old should have more to offer at this level and a switch to Polytrack is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Galette arrives on the back of a respectable third at Dunstall Park, but consistency hasn't been her strong suit in the past. With that in mind a bigger threat may emerge from Unknown Journey, who hit the frame over C&D 12 days ago.
