Verdict
Rated 80, Amor de Mi Vida has obvious claims at this level but that was the case at Kempton last time when returning a beaten favourite behind a horse trained by Bob Cowell. The latter runs BARBAROMA today and he looks to have a good shout having been beaten less than a length over track and trip with both Driftwood and A Pint Of Bear behind. He can go one better given Tatsthewaytodoit is penalised for winning a handicap at Catterick.
