Verdict

The Joseph O'Brien-trained THE GAME OF LIFE can build on his promising debut here over 1m last month by landing the spoils on his second career starts dropping in trip. The four-year-old can see off the threat from his biggest challengers, C&D winners Ahlan Bil Zain and the J P McManus-owned Arbourfield.
