        Verdict

        Days of My Life gets the confident vote here with Bailieborough and Everest rating the main dangers. The selection has improved with each run to date and won well last time out when beating Fire Two. She returns to the fray quickly before being re-assessed and despite her 6lbs penalty she is impossible to oppose. Bailieborough rates the main danger on his latest third behind Imperial Echo, especially as the return to this longer trip is sure to suit. Everest is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he remains weighted up to his best. Of the others, Claret And Amber has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Days Of My Life who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
