Verdict

The solid and consistent BURREN LIFE can get off the mark over the larger obstacles at the fifth time of asking for connections. The Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old can hold off the attentions of the Paul Nilan-trained Rooster Byron and Burgas whose yard boast a 31% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last three years. Top weight and C&D winner Deans Road can go well at a price.
