Street Life is given the narrow vote in the finale with Broughton Knows and Bienhereux put forward as the main dangers. The selection was making good progress in a similar event on this track last time when his path was blocked and he ended up finishing down the field. He is clearly a horse that needs some luck in running but he had previously won well on the turf at Yarmouth and if things drop right for him here then he is capable of going close. Broughton Knows is in good form but this is more difficult than the race he won last time at Wolverhampton when he beat Indalo Grey. He is not the most consistent but if he were at his best then he would have strong place claims. Bienhereux is another with good place prospects here as he has been knocking on the door of late and he was a good second behind Bubbling Fun at Wolverhampton last time. Duelling Banjos is well-treated on the pick of his form and he is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Willie Musson's Street Life.
