        Verdict

        Life Knowledge won a division of this last year but has been in poor form over hurdles and on the Flat last time and Yvette is preferred. The latter is creeping closer and found one too good at Kempton on her latest start but SULAFAAT can get her head back in front. A runner-up in a higher grade over course and distance last time, she finished ahead of both Majestic Stone and a below-par Lyford here before that and gets the nod. Jan De Heem has yet to win on the all-weather and Mamdood slides further down the weights.
