Verdict

Peregrine Run won this back in 2019 and finished third last year behind the runner-up Ilikedwayurthinkin. Both can figure again but LIFE IN THE PARK has more scope. Henry De Bromhead’s charge will appreciate this return to a longer trip after finishing third at Punchestown on his handicap debut when in front of Tullybeg. The front-running Sole Pretender can get involved on his handicap bow over fences while both History Of Fashion and Snugsborough Benny placed at the same Punchestown fixture last month and the latter will be sharper for the outing.
