Verdict

For Life has to be the pick here, with Buy On The Red, Plateau and Support Fund the most likely dangers. The selection was successful at Folkestone last time out, beating today's opponent Buy On The Red by two and a half lengths. The runner up is much better off at the weights but the manner of that victory suggests Natalia can again steer For Life to victory. Plateau was also successful last time out, beating subsequent dual winner Ryedane. He should again go well despite a rise in the weights. Support Fund is a recent course and distance winner so has to be feared off her current mark. However For Life is in the form of his life and cannot be opposed.
