LIFE IN THE PARK shaped well when third in a competitive novice handicap at the Punchestown Festival and is taken to build on that and prove too strong for these largely more exposed rivals. History of Fashion and Snugsborough Benny are others who arrive on the back of good runs at Punchestown and head the dangers along with the returning Peregrine Run, who was in excellent form when last seen in the autumn.
