After running Brelan D’As to half-a-length at Haydock, Whatswrongwithyou made hard work of landing the odds at Leicester and needs more. Diakali has been taking on better opposition since completing a hat-trick at Cheltenham in October but still isn’t foot-perfect. AMOUR DE NUIT’s jumping went to pieces at Kempton last time but that wasn’t his true running and he should go close in this if back on song.
