        In depth

        Verdict

        SUNSHINE ALWAYS has been threatening to put an end to his long losing run and went close again over C&D on his latest start when runner-up to Eastern Gift. Michael Attwater's charge is given another chance here. Willow Dancer was placed on his last five starts last season which strongly suggests he's in the handicapper's grip, but Wolverhampton maiden winner Spice Run is interesting on his return from a lengthy absence and is worth noting. Striding Edge was second over a longer trip here in October and Cool Hand Jake is back on a winning mark for his return to action.
