In depth

Verdict

And Again can win again at the expense of Ahlawy and Fregate Island. The selection was in winning form at Lingfield when beating Candle in a thirteen runner affair. He looked eye catching that day and if handling the tight bends at Beverley he can only improve. Ahlawy will pose as the biggest danger. He has put his wayward ways behind him and looked good at Yarmouth when getting the better of Madame Medusa last time out. Again he looks a progressive type and is sure to improve again. Fregate Island won twice as a two year old last year and improved from his reappearance to finish second at Ripon behind Room On A Spoon. More is needed here though if he is to score so for the winner we return to And Again.
