SPIN AGAIN has only raced in lowly grade this year but he's been good enough to land three victories, two modest handicaps and an easy success in a Lingfield claimer last time. He was claimed by John Ryan after that success and his new handler clearly feels that he's worth a shot in this higher grade, so we'll go along with that view at what should be a value-for-money price. Amoya, Barwick and Darcey are all C&D winners and are preferred in that order but McBirney ran a cracking race behind King Zeal at Leicester last time and represents the main danger if repeating that level here. Trip and ground are fine for the Paul D'Arcy inmate.
