Mandhooma is a standing dish at this track and was winning for the seventh time here on his latest outing. He's 5lb higher today but is not easily dismissed. Windsor winner Blue Maisey has claims, but it was a lower grade race that No Larking won here last time and he too has a 5lb rise to contend with. Rosedale and Final Verse have the past form to figure, but a chance is taken that the less-exposed ENCORE UN FOIS will find the necessary improvement for a yard with a good strike rate at this course.
