Another Encore

The most recent form tells a story of a young horse still finding its feet. After the Leicester win, it ran fifth at its last outing just a day ago, suggesting the effort may have taken something out of it, or that the step up in competition proved testing. Before the breakthrough, it had finished sixth and tenth in earlier races, the kind of ordinary performances that come with youth and inexperience. Still, with a 25% win rate already established—winning roughly 1 in every 4 races—there is genuine evidence of ability. Charlton's yard at Beckhampton is in good form this season with 38 winners to their name, so Another Encore is in capable hands as it continues to learn the trade.
