      In depth

      Verdict

      Time And Again was sent off favourite on his debut at Towcester in February but was well beaten and hasn't been seen since. Dry Ol' Party has been knocking on the door but has already had three starts and another filly, Benim, has more scope. She only found one too good on her Fontwell debut last month and the winner followed up under a penalty. A HAIRY KOALA failed to quicken when well backed at Plumpton in May but wasn't beaten far and that run will have learned him plenty - he can recoup losses this afternoon.
