Crowning Star finished just ahead of Tax Reform when runner-up in this lowly grade over track and trip a fortnight ago with Dreaming Again back in fifth. The former pair are hard to separate so the vote goes to JE T'AIME ENCORE. The latter was only caught by a couple of horses in the dying strides at Wolverhampton a week ago and should make another bold bid. As A Dream posted a much better effort at Wolverhampton last time having tumbled down the handicap which could point to a big run in this.
