        Verdict

        LIVING THE LIFE is upped in grade and 8lb higher than when successful over course and distance at the start of the month but Jamie Osborne's filly is clearly in cracking form and could give Ted Durcan followers further reason to celebrate. Dawn Calling looked on the way back at Catterick last time and has been placed on the Polytrack while Breccbennach wasn't beaten far when fourth at Newmarket after winning at Leicester, though has been raised a further 4lb since. Funding Deficit isn't out of this at the foot of the weights but Caldercruix appears out of sorts at present.
