Race Tip

WAY OF LIFE (3) has been a fine servant to the Jonathan Portman stable winning nine times and placing on a further twenty two occasions. Gutsy winner at Lingfield Park in April and holds every chance now fresh. HIGH DEGREE (1) was gelded before three fair performances this season in defeat. Betting will guide towards the strength of his chances here. AL AALI (2) now wears a set of blinkers for the first time having finished well held here a fortnight ago. One to take very seriously with Billy Loughnane on board. WAR HAWK (5) remains unexposed on the turf delivering two wins and now has a tongue strap fitted.
