ONCEAPONATIME followed up his second at Southwell with another good effort when occupying the same position over C&D last Friday. This looks slightly easier and Michael Squance's sprinter gets the vote. Spin Again has been placed in plating company here recently and can make the frame again, while Jack Rackham has the form on Polytrack to figure if ready to go on his return to action. Mick Easterby runs both Lake Chini and Devil You Know with preference for the latter who was beaten only a head here last November.
