5/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Very good fourth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Might not be in the same mood.

14/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 29 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Down the weights and drops to this level for the first time, so very much one to consider.

11/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 14/1, third of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well treated and hinting at a revival, so not easily dismissed.

Forecasts

Miss Sligo (16/5), Four Feet (7/2), Born To Sire (5/1), Teemlucky (6/1), Wisper (15/2), Blue Hero (11/1), Way Of Life (12/1), Bbob Alula (14/1), Champagne Highlife (25/1), Musaytir (80/1), Tighten Up (80/1)

WAY OF LIFE is handicapped to win and returned to form over C&D last month, so he gets the nod with cheekpieces refitted down in grade. His stablemate, Wisper, could pose a threat, but the in-form Four Feet strikes as the biggest danger in search of an elusive first success.
