Hier Encore and EN COEUR ran in different races on the same card here in March. The former’s race was run in a quicker time than the latter’s but Seamus Mullins’ charge finished much closer to the first three and gets the nod today. Furia D'Oudairies definitely has a chance at the weights in a weak handicap while Magic Shuffle is fit from the Flat. Sweeping Rock should also be thereabouts if in the mood.
