FINAL ENCORE managed to do what his smart half-brother Third Wind (for the same connections) failed to achieve when winning a bumper in the spring and with this trip sure to suit now hurdling, he's just about the most persuasive option. Matterhorn shaped very well on his sole start in France and this good type could be a different proposition away from the Sandown mud fitted with a tongue tie, so he's a big threat. Ventara is one to note on his debut.
