The money has come for ENCOURAGEABLE the last twice and while the penny hasn’t quite dropped I still have plenty of faith in this horse and if things pan out more favourably here he could have a massive chance. He was only beaten a length on return at Redcar and I personally felt he was asked to late to close up. He ran off the same mark again last time and again found himself with a bit too much to do but perhaps looking a little one paced. The form has been well advertised since though with the winner Point Lynas following up at York in a good race at a big price. The second Ana Gold has also run two big races in defeat since so it definitely has substance. He will need to improve up 3lb but he is definitely still a horse to be interested in. Positive Impact is the danger but I’m not sure how much he will have in hand off a mark of 94 now. Exminster was below par last time but is still one to be interested in.
