Racing Post verdict
Third-partyReal Encounter is our selection over today's five furlongs, narrowly ahead of Namiid at the top of this field on our figures. She arrives in good order, with a win and three places from her last five starts, and has run over today's trip and going before. Her yard's recent quiet spell is a mild concern, but her own form has held up well throughout. Namiid, Apache Outlaw and Daneh Of Dandy are the chief dangers on their own solid recent efforts, though Real Encounter's placed-heavy record and rating edge should make her hard to oppose.
