Verdict

Willie Musson is in great form at present and he can land this prize with Street Life, Sawwaah and Augustine could provide most danger. The selection is no world beater but did win a decent enough race at Newmarket last time out. The handicapper has been pretty fair and a follow up looks on the cards. Saawaah landed three sellers in the spring and hasn't done too badly in similar company since. He doesn't look badly treated on his return to handicapping and should reach the frame. Augustine is a model of consistency at this level and should be the pick of the others. But in a race that lacks any quality, Street Life should be the one to oblige.
