        Verdict

        Both of GAVARNIE ENCORE's victories so far have come over 7f around here but he was second over a mile at the track last winter and remains well enough treated to go in again. Sweet Dancer has been disappointing but may do better now fitted with headgear and Bazooka was well backed last time. Chapeau Bleu was still beaten seven lengths when second over 6f here two weeks ago, however, so Henry Grace and Tarragon make more appeal.
