      Verdict

      ISLAND OF LIFE failed to land the odds on Tapeta earlier this month but is still the one to beat in this on earlier seconds at Haydock and Ascot. Mountain Peak is interesting as he played up before the start prior to his hat-trick bid at Windsor and won on his only previous try over the minimum. Kodiac Express has had a good season and has won three of his last four while Foxy Forever came back to form at Yarmouth. Billy Dylan showed a good attitude to score at Ripon but had the rail to help and has to carry a penalty. Awesome and Jashma would need to improve on recent efforts in this company.
