Encrypted beat Savalas at York in June and bounced back to form last time at Chelmsford, though Kevin Ryan’s charge is 6lb better off today. The booking of Frankie Dettori for Blue De Vega catches the eye as Bob Cowell’s runner is only a pound higher than when winning at Ascot in July. Marnie James is a speedy sort but may not want to go much beyond 5f whereas the extra yardage here will suit HOLMESWOOD, who was making up ground hand over fist when well backed at York last month. He has been left on the same mark and Silvestre De Sousa keeps the partnership intact. Udontdodou beat Open Wide and Dougan in a competitive handicap at Windsor last time and others to consider include recent course winner Orvar, Wentworth Falls, Roundhay Park and Muscika. Dakota Gold, a stablemate of the selection, could also go well.
