Reeceltic scored over 2m here last time and gets a change of headgear having scored over track and trip at this time last year. But the progressive WAY OF LIFE (NAP) returned from a short break to land hat-trick with a victory at Wolverhampton and looks capable of defying the handicapper once again. Largo Bay won here on his penultimate start while Psyche has been gelded having been narrowly beaten over a longer trip last time when looking to end a long losing run.
