GIMMETHEGOODLIFE and LEAD THE CHARGE are closely matched on recent form over 1000m. Both are equally adept over this extended trip so should be competitive. Hat-trick seeking ROCKAROUNDTHECLOCK has more to do at this level but is progressive, while hard-knocker BLACK EGRET is dangerous to discount with alumites refitted.
