In depth

Verdict

The progressive RICH AGAIN is worth sticking with in his current form. James Bethell's charge landed a hat-trick with his latest victory over course and distance and, despite re-opposing on better terms, runner-up Invincible Ridge will do well to reverse running. Light From Mars and Rodrigo De Torres have even more to find with the selection but Serenity Spa is capable of getting involved in this grade and Angus Og has won off higher marks on the Turf. Time And Place went close at Kempton on his reappearance and looks the biggest threat.
