Verdict
BIG DIFFERENCE is easily the most exposed of these but boasts a decent level of form and could make the most of his experience and weight concession from Dazzling Glory, only third at Uttoxeter off this mark after winning at Fontwell, and Taste The Fear, who was a well-beaten last of four on his chasing bow.
