In depth
Verdict
Any Givin Sunday won at Huntingdon in October but was well beaten under a penalty at Plumpton last time and is up against an above-average novice here in A DIFFERENT KIND. Donald McCain’s five-year-old only beat two rivals at Haydock after making a winning start at Sedgefield but that latest form has been franked with the second, who was receiving 5lb, scoring twice since.
