Rousing Encore
Having ran particularly well when fourth in a strong affair at York on his penultimate start, ROUSING ENCORE is probably best not judged too harshly on his subsequent run when midfield in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon. He's clearly still on an exploitable mark and could bounce straight back. It Just Takes Time, Secret Guest and Sir Garfield are a trio of others to consider, whilst last year's winner Tinto shouldn't be underestimated either.

Successful at York's Dante meeting in May and best effort since when good fourth in Sky Bet Dash back on the Knavesmire in July. Ridden closer to the pace when midfield in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon 13 days ago and better showing anticipated here from what could prove a good draw.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat11/17York6fGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/19Pontefract6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/8Epsom Downs6f 3ySoftFlat4/11York6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/16- 4(9)Dark Cloud RisingJ: Daniel TudhopeT: David O'Meara-143091Age 311/29/25/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, firm) 19 days ago, leading final 1f and keeping on.

Developed into a useful juvenile for Karl Burke last year, winning big-field Glorious Goodwood nursery (6f) and runner-up next 2 starts from higher marks. Changed yards and gelded ahead of return and not out of the question there could be more to come on the back of just 6 career starts.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster6f 2yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/8York6fGood to FirmFlat2/17Goodwood6fGood to FirmFlat1/16Nottingham5f 8yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/10Ascot5fGood to FirmFlat21/27- 14(4)Eternal SunshineJ: Lauren YoungT: Jim Goldie3429220Age 58/18/19/1

Remains winless in 2025 but she ran another fine race when runner-up in 5f fillies' handicap at York (5f) last week.

Very useful at 2 yrs, the highlight of which was his close third in the Coventry at Royal Ascot. Has so far failed to scale those heights this season though, promising more than he delivered when ninth of 16 in handicap at Goodwood (7f) 27 days ago.

Latest win at Haydock in May. Mixed bag has followed but highlighted he's ready to strike again when fourth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, doing best of those racing on unfavoured part of course.

C&D winner who scored 3 times during second half of last season. Largely consistent in defeat this time around, again performing creditably when second of 15 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, first home in group.

Not at best since returning from Bahrain earlier this year, albeit his track position offering some mitigation when ninth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Refitting of cheekpieces may help and mark is easing but needs to show more before becoming of interest.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYarmouth7f 3ySoftFlat9/12Pontefract6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat6/8Ascot7fGood to FirmFlat19/27Southwell6f 16yStandardFlat5/11Sakhir5f 212yFlat10/18- 1(5)Secret GuestJ: Harrison ShawT: Bryan Smart6810720Age 514/114/112/1

Successful here in May and posted his best effort since when runner-up back over this C&D last month. Excuses on account of where he raced when last of 17 in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f) 13 days ago and he's every inch the type to bounce back returned to this venue.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRipon6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat17/17Thirsk6fGoodFlat2/13Ripon6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/9York6fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat16/16Thirsk6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/10- 5(6)TintoJ: Paul MulrennanT: Michael Dods8-02000Age 914/114/112/1

3-time C&D winner who bagged this race from 2 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Confirmed he retains plenty of zest when runner-up over an inadequate 5f here in the spring and he's had excuses on 2 of his 3 starts since (lost action latest).

Back-to-back winner of 6f handicaps last spring who caught the eye when midfield in handicaps at Beverley/Haydock earlier this term. Came in a respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster 37 days ago and he's not one to write off for stable who are a dab hand with such types.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster6f 2yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat6/12Haydock Park6fGoodFlat8/15Beverley5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/13Ripon6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat11/13Goodwood6fHeavyFlat5/9- 10(14)Kings CallJ: Dale SwiftT: Seb Spencer4700800Age 328/128/125/1

Winless since his debut when trained by Kevin Ryan and more miss than hit in handful of starts for present stable, going with little fluency when tenth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (5.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago.
