In depth
Verdict
LISTEN AGAIN was sent off favourite at Redcar but found one too good. This looks no tougher and she may prove the one to side with. Spirit Of Rowdown also went close back on Turf at Lingfield though that was over 7f while Livia The Empress placed over the same distance at Kempton on her handicap debut, though never threatened the winner. Mia Mia finished behind the latter and is closely matched with Ghostly on subsequent running at Wolverhampton.
