In depth
Verdict
Another Day Of Sun has been mostly handicapping without success since winning a novices event at Thirsk back in June. He’s giving plenty of weight to LINE HOUSE and the latter may prove good enough in this if showing any further progress after a couple of modest efforts over 7f. Mametz Wood was still beaten seven lengths when runner-up at Redcar while stablemate Dutch Academy has yet to threaten along with Brisk Tempo. Strawberryandcream is related to a host of winners and a newcomer to note.
