In depth

Verdict

None of these inspire much confidence but LE HAVRESE is the only one of these to have won this year and she also finish runner-up at Haydock last time. She gets the vote dropping down a grade. Glasgon was upped 10lb for his win at Wolverhampton in October and Yulong Xiongba has been placed off similar marks on numerous occasions this year. Life Knowledge is another that regularly makes the frame but Exclusive Diamond is preferred with Josh Doyle taking 5lb off his back.
