Spin Again can come out on top in this competitive looking heat, but plenty have chances, including Lake Windermere and Sir Billy Nick. Ralph Beckett's colt has the benefit of a high draw, and having been placed in his last couple of efforts could go one better this time out. He had the measure of Rondeau in his last run at Chepstow when giving weight away and should be able to do so again today. Sir Billy Nick has visors on for the first time as he aims to recapture previous good form on the all-weather here and at Kempton; his last couple of runs on turf have been disappointing, but he gets another go tonight. Lake Windermere, John Gosden's filly, made all to win last time out in a better race than this at Newmarket, and she is the most lightly raced. An expensive purchase as a two year old, she's got to be on any shortlist. But we'll go with Spin Again.
