BETTER GETALONG returned from a lengthy absence to beat a decent sort, who has won again since, at Ayr. The pair finished well clear and a follow up here looks on the cards, though Some Reign also defied a lay-off to score with some authority at Wetherby and will be no pushover. The Delray Munky is the first foal to race of a staying chaser so may need further, though looks the most interesting of the newcomers.
