Much harder than recent ones, I thought!

Is this clue fair?
5d Resort to second embrace again! (9)

There doesn't seem to be an anagram indicator for "embrace", unless "again!" is intended to be one.

hi Chris
"again" has to be the anagram indicator, if the answer is Eric ! ?

Maybe "again" refers to "resort" ( re- sort)

Yes, I like the "re-sort" idea.

I recall "re-sort" and "again" being used by RT in the past, so probably the same compiler.
(Chambers 12th does not show "again" in their list of anagram indicators)

Second = Mo + anagram of embrace = a resort

Yes, we know :)

....resort, as well as being the def. could be re-sort (to which the "again" refers ) ?

Sorry didn't read down far enough. I think "again" is intended as the anagram indicator...but there again

Strange that you should find it hard. I found it the easiest for several weeks!
I've been looking for this answer to "horse" (10ac) whenever a horse clue has come up! It is so obvious but I do not remember it before.
