Again could return to action in Matron Stakes.

Byline: Tony O'Hehir

AGAIN, who gave David Wachman his first Classic winner in the Boylesports Irish 1,000 Guineas, could bid to put her season back on track at Leopardstown on Saturday, writes Tony O'Hehir.

The daughter of Danehill Dancer heads the list of nine acceptors for the Group 1 Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes, having not raced since finishing only seventh in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, when she was beaten 20 lengths by Ghanaati.

Wachman said yesterday: "Again is left in the race and we're happy with her, but we will wait and see how she is later in the week before deciding if she will run."

Talking about her Ascot run, Wachman added: "Everyone saw that she didn't raise a gallop that day, but a lot of my horses were under the weather around that time."

Heaven Sent, who put up her best performance this season when running Goldikova to half a length in the Falmouth Stakes, and Rainbow View, runner-up in the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood on her most recent start, are the two British-trained acceptors.

Dermot Weld confirmed Mad About You, runner-up at Group 1 level in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and the Pretty Polly Stakes last year, and winner of the Group 3 Gladness Stakes at the Curragh this season, a runner in Saturday's 1m event for fillies and mares.

Also left in the race are the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair Heart Shaped and Totally Devoted, and Jim Bolger's Maoineach.
