In depth
Verdict
Day Day has had 14 starts over hurdles without winning and though producing a couple of decent performances they were on good ground in the summer. ADREAMSTILLALIVE has been narrowly beaten into second in three starts over hurdles, the latest two after a very long absence. Unless one of the newcomers is well supported, and Voiceofthekingdom makes a belated start to his career, then Henry De Bromhead's mare should gain her first victory.
