Verdict

WAY OF LIFE looked better than ever when notching his fouth win on the bounce at Lingfield last month. He did the job well that day, so much so that a 7 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to stop him if he's able to continue the good work now returned to turf. Moel Arthur is second choice ahead of Tralee Hills and Oriental Art.
