Verdict
LIFETIME is turned out again quickly having made late headway when seventh over a shorter trip at Warwick on Monday. He's a long-standing maiden but has often taken on better opposition and can finally come good. Storm Alert looks the danger as his last win was achieved off a 20lb higher mark. He's been running poorly lately but is another eased in grade. Barenger and Ya Bon could both figure but The Sweetener's latest second came in a match between the flags.
