        Verdict

        WAY OF LIFE may finally get his head back in front after going close here lately but will need to reverse earlier running with Lexington Knight. The latter can figure again while La Pulga was narrowly beaten at Newcastle in October and Nolton Cross was winning off a higher mark over track and trip back in March so is not out of this.
