Claims can be made for plenty but LAST ENCORE continued his theme of race-by-race progress making a quick switch to nurseries when successful at Navan 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he makes plenty of appeal again. Michael O'Callaghan holds a strong hand with 3 runners, Tommy McJohn possibly chief amongst them. Kodilicious and South Shore Island are others fancied to feature.
