Verdict

Plenty of these have something to prove, so it may pay to side with JUAN LES PINS, who arrives on the back of a win at Newcastle and a good second in a big field at Doncaster. Yorkshire Glory has been one of the success stories of the winter and looks the biggest threat back on turf in search of the 7-timer. Mark's Choice can complete the placings.
