TOSS AGAIN and Salvador Ziggy are both 2-2 over fences and will likely hold their own in graded company in due course. The latter was again impressive at Tramore recently and is not passed over lightly, but Toss Again belied his inexperience in this sphere when landing a valuable, big-field handicap chase at the Galway Festival and is marginally preferred. This is by no means a straight duel, though, with Solness also entitled to respect on the back of a creditable effort in a Grade 3 novice.
