Street Life looked good when scoring last time out and he is fancied to win again at the main expense of General Flumpa and Berry Hill Lass. Although aged ten and probably not open to any improvement, the selection showed plenty of sparkle on soft ground when winning just eight days ago and he is still well-handicapped on old form. Top Spec hasn't been in the winners enclosure for some time but is a capable performer and this ground should suit. Compton Charlie needs watching in the betting as he returns from an absence, whilst Icannshift is a course and distance winner and should strip fitter for a recent run. General Flumpa ran well in defeat on soft ground last time out and that was a fair effort returning from a break, whilst Ashmolian has been in fairly consistent form on the all-weather of late. An open finale, with Street Life taken to win again.
