Course winner. 16/1, won 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and she's a strong each-way candidate.

5/1
One win from 3 runs last year. 11/2, won 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 18 days ago by neck from Gladiadora, having run of race. Merits consideration.

Forecasts

Al Waqidi (6/4), Gladiadora (18/5), Nebula Stars (5/1), Rising Force (13/2), Arthur Rose (15/2), First Encounter (12/1), Adace (25/1), My Boy Harry (40/1), Vizzavona Lady (40/1)

Verdict

GLADIADORA was just touched off by Nebula Stars at Lingfield recently and a 1 lb swing may tilt the scales in her favour this time, though it should again be close between them. First Encounter can be expected to give another good account and is best of the rest ahead of Kempton scorer Adace and the hat-trick seeking Arthur Rose.

  3. First Encounter12/1
