        Verdict

        Life Is Beautiful, Desert Quill and Bold Blade are the three to concentrate on in this seller and we will give the nomination to Life Is Beautiful. The selection was well beaten behind Sualda in a better race than this at Beverely last time and the strength of that race has since been advertised with the the winner going on to score on Sunday at Chester. The drop in grade should ensure that Life Is Beautiful can get his head back in front and as such he is taken to score. Desert Quill is also eased slightly in grade but he will need to step up on his most recent effort when well beaten behind Teorban at Chepstow if he is trouble our selection. Bold Blade could be interesting as he is stepped up significantly in trip after being well beaten on the AW at Southwell last time. It will be a surprise if any of the remainder are good enough to take this and for the winner we return to Life Is Beautiful.
