Verdict

UN SENS A LA VIE showed useful form over hurdles when making a successful return at Market Rasen and appeals as the type to make up into an even better chaser. Representing a yard amongst the winners, he gets the vote ahead of Taurus Bay who is also a noteworthy recruit to chasing, while Dance And Glance is another to consider in an interesting-looking renewal.
