In race two, Street Life is selected ahead of Mystic Storm and Effigy. Street Life has more than enough form to be given solid claims in this contest and we reckon he can give a good account of himself today. Nightspot can be given place claims based on his recent course and distance effort, and the lightly-raced Mystic Storm has dropped to a fair mark based on last season's best efforts and has to be given some thought. Double Spectre is now just two pound above his April winning mark and should be considered, while it would be no surprise to see Leon Knights improve in first-time headgear. Effigy took a big step in the right direction at Sandown last time and he can improve again over tonight's longer trip, particularly as his trainer is now back amongst the winners and, finally, Uig has enough ability to run into a place but Golden Sprite may need his first run of the season. Once again, then, the selection is Street Life.
