Verdict
Sauce Of Life cost €35,000 as a three-year-old and is related winning hurdlers. He is of obvious interest in this with Largy Gift another newcomer worth a market check. Misty Mani has already placed at Sedgefield and Wetherby and connections will be hoping she can make it third-time lucky but cheekpieces may well bring about the necessary improvement in WARRIORS STORY, who has been showing up well in better races than this.
