    Race Analysis

    FIRST ENCOUNTER (2) went forward last start over 1m at this track holding on well for second beaten a neck. Drawn to go forward again from stall four and no reason he cannot win. NICELY CURVED (6) closed off strongly last start getting up for second when fresh from a break. Needs a strong pace to aim at. Leading contender. MONKS MEAD (5) might not boast the best winning strike rate however did well last time when fourth at Chelmsford making good late ground. Player. MAN IS KING (4) was safely held running ninth in latest after a win at Chelmsford previous start. Likely to improve maintaining top-three prospects.
