Rousing Encore was an eye-catcher in his latest start when finishing a good fourth. He's down a pound, and this race is easier. The stall is probably a negative, but it seems like there's loads of pace on the nearside, so it could be in his favor.

Man Of Vision ran a nice race at Newmarket at a moment when the stable was in terrible form. He's only up 3 pounds for that. What's interesting is that Buick has decided to make the trip to York today instead of staying at Sandown where he would have had decent rides. His main chance might be the newcomer in the next race, but I think he holds faith in this runner as well. Stall 20 is a negative.

Raammee was disappointing on his seasonal reappearance, but he should be able to leave that run behind him. The hood will help him settle better, and he's still well handicapped on previous form.
