Verdict

An open handicap to conclude the card with LETMELIVEMYLIFE given the chance to prove his record of yet to place on Turf is not indicative of his ability on the surface. A three-time winner on the all-weather this year, he was far from disgraced when a staying-on sixth of 18 in a Newbury handicap and is sure to appreciate this additional furlong. Farasi Lane wins in his turn and usually runs his race. He's not been cut any slack by the handicapper but does look one of the more likely ones dropping back to the distance of his most recent success. Final Watch is expected to give a good account under Loughnane, but Bussento looks the main danger as he's been bang in contention the last twice, James Doyle is a good booking and first-time cheekpieces are applied.
