Verdict

ENJOY YOUR LIFE went with plenty of zest and highlighted he's ready to strike when runner-up back from 6 months off at Wincanton (20.2f) 2 weeks ago and, back up in trip, he can prove himself on a handy mark. Atlanta Brave remains the type to do better in this sphere and is expected to be sharper for his Cheltenham return effort. Run to Milan and Investment Manager complete the shortlist.
