Verdict

This is no better than the previous division but LIFE OF LUXURY finished much closer when fourth here on his recent handicap debut and has more scope than most of these. Patanjali was beaten less than a length at Lingfield last time and Zebelini was placed over track and trip last month. Black Truffle, Spirit Of Gondree and Bridal March continue their slide down the weights without yet showing any benefit.
