Verdict

Life And Times won twice on Polytrack at Wolverhampton in the spring and returned to run very well on the new Tapeta surface on Saturday so should be in the shake-up. SILVERHEELS generally competes at a much higher level here and in France. He has a course and distance victory to his credit and though 6lb higher can concede weight all round. The lightly-raced Zain Empire is progressive enough to go well from his lowly mark and may not have enjoyed soft ground on his last two starts while Moonfaarid ran well here two weeks ago, his first start since Meydan in February, and has the scope to do much better.
