A competitive race but Royal Amnesty and Street Life are both well handicapped on their best form and make plenty of appeal, the former gets the vote given his better recent form. Royal Amnesty returned a beaten favourite on his first run for current connections in February but he made no mistake when coming clear to record a comfortable success last time. The handicapper has had his say but he's still well treated and he can follow up. Street Life is back on a winning mark and Willie Musson's veteran will pop up again. However, he was a shade disappointing when quite well supported at Kempton and ran just a moderate race over hurdles on his next outing. Rebellious Spirit, Wasalat and Supercast will all have their supporters given their recent form but we believe this can go to Royal Amnesty.
