Formscan  - Cases can be made for all of these but preference is for CLASSIC ENCOUNTER. The five-year-old was a short-head second over a mile at Redcar when last seen and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Desert Shadow was second to the selection on his most recent outing in May and is an obvious threat once again, while neither Great Chieftain or Huscal can be discounted.
