Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Way Of Life arrives on a progressive profile that makes him an appealing prospect over this twelve-furlong trip at Newmarket, and there is reason to believe his ceiling has not yet been reached despite sitting three pounds behind the top-rated Greek Order on current assessments. Greek Order, Haku and Arqoob all represent serious opposition and cannot be taken lightly, with the top-rated in particular holding a clear edge on bare figures. Confidence is tempered accordingly, but the upward trajectory of Way Of Life's form suggests he has more to offer than those figures currently reflect. **Way Of Life** is the selection.
