We present various results on the properties of the four infinite sets of the exceptional Xl polynomials discovered recently by Odake and Sasaki [Phys. Lett. B 679 (2009), 414-417; Phys. Lett. B 684 (2010), 173-176]. These Xl polynomials are global solutions of second order Fuchsian differential equations with l+3 regular singularities and their confluent limits. We derive equivalent but much simpler looking forms of the Xl polynomials. The other subjects discussed in detail are: factorisation of the Fuchsian differential operators, shape invariance, the forward and backward shift operations, invariant polynomial subspaces under the Fuchsian differential operators, the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalisation procedure, three term recurrence relations and the generating functions for the Xl polynomials.
