In depth
Verdict
REMEMBER THE DAYS (NAP) reverted to hurdling in a higher grade contest at Carlisle last month and finished a respectable third. This drop in class could see him back to winning ways and he gets the vote. Maiden winner Never Be Enough returned a disappointing favourite on her handicap debut while Astute Boy never looked like catching the winner when runner-up in novice company here recently. Wot A Shot finished well beaten when third at the same fixture here but will be sharper for that comeback run and the latter comment also applies to Justice Knight, a winner at Huntingdon back in February.
