Desire and Mango Chutney won their respective divisions of the same handicap at Catterick last month and both have been raised 3lb. But YULONG XIONGBA is preferred after a fourth at Carlisle as he won in this lower grade at the same track before that and usually runs his race. Reflation won over 6f at Hamilton on his penultimate start but is 7lb higher today while Someone Exciting was a close-up third at the same meeting at Hamilton. Enjoy Life was not beaten far at Wolverhampton last time, despite finishing only fifth, and Cliff does not have much to find with the selection on earlier running at Carlisle.
