ENCORE CHAMPS has been off the track for almost a year but goes well fresh and figures on a good mark reverted to hurdles on his first run for Dan Skelton so is worth siding with. Handicap-debutants Major Dundee and Diocletian look set to take a sizeable step forward so rate big threats and in-form Ecco is worth a second look too in a very competitive handicap.
