    Verdict

    Lifetime landed a double on the Flat early last year and Murcar scored over C&D when last seen on the level back in 2009. Harry Hunt is better than both of the above over hurdles but has to race off a much higher mark back on the Flat after winning here in 2011. English Summer is hard to catch right and is upped in class having won over 1m4f at Lingfield last time so SOMEMOTHERSDOHAVEM makes more appeal. November's C&D winner has run well off higher marks since and this looks a less competitive race than his latest close-up fourth at Kempton.
