Verdict

Allez Encore won a bumper at Listowel in September when trained by James Barcoe. Now with Kim Bailey, she should find a race or two over hurdles but we're prepared to give TANIOKEY another chance. Her stable is going through a bit of a lean spell but her run in a Listed race at Newbury last time was too bad to be true as she'd beaten a decent sort at Uttoxeter earlier. Bella isn't getting any nearer but there may be more to come from Unify now she switches to hurdles and a market move for newcomer Quench Tara would be significant.
