WESTERN POWER (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten a nose, over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. FIRST ENCOUNTER (8) returns from a spell of 15 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Sandown-Lakeside over 1600m when first-up last time in work. Fitter for a eighth in a recent trial over 950m at Lark Hill. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. WITHOUT REG (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. SIBERIAN SIREN (6) did a great job to score by a head over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.
