Racing Post verdict
Third-partyAnother Investment may sit 3 points below Ziggy's Condor on our figures, but a progressive profile and a fitness edge make a compelling case for siding with him over the top-rated runner here at Doncaster over six furlongs on good-to-firm ground. Ziggy's Condor heads the ratings and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Ay Gee Ell and Mark's Choice also pose threats in what looks a competitive Class 5 heat. The selection's upward trajectory suggests there may be more to come, and that improvement could prove the difference at the line. **Another Investment** is our selection.
