Verdict
A penalty anchored Armed Response at Hamilton last time having won at the same track earlier. Our Man In Havana faces the same problem today penalised for scoring at Haydock on his latest start so a chance is taken that LIFE FOR RENT improves for the longer trip. He stayed on for fourth at Carlisle on his debut having missed the break and should be better for that experience. Danzan has been thereabouts over 7f and led for a long way at Wolverhampton last time while Wahoo has placed in both starts over the minimum trip. Jockey bookings suggest Sinaloa is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Powerful Society.
