In depth

Verdict

Clive Cox has an excellent strike rate at the track and MISTER SUNSHINE found only one too good on his racecourse debut at Bath. He was doing his best work at the finish so this extra distance should suit. Kody Ridge also ran well on his introduction when third at Wolverhampton a week ago with a below par Secret Ballerina well beaten though the latter is not easily written off as she had finished a close-up fifth on her earlier debut.
