LIFESTYLE is the nominal suggestion in a race where Celtic Carol and Dark Sensation could be interesting alternatives. Lifestyle is from a good family and from a yard that does well in these contests so it would be no surprise to see her give a good account of herself at the first time of asking. Celtic Carol has the edge in experience and may improve a little on the form that she has shown to date now that she encounters better ground but she hasn't looked out of the ordinary thus far. Dark Sensation is related to winners in this sphere and would be interesting if the money arrives whilst all three of Alan King's runners merit respect. Real Treasure has shown ability on the track and is entitled to build on that initial performance.
