Catterick is where DELUSIONOFGRANDEUR most commonly struts his stuff, and he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten course record despite facing his most difficult test in North Yorkshire yet. He is a horse who lays it all down on the table off the front end, and one can't but help be endeared to his bold and brave style of racing. His most recent Sedgefield (3m5f) Durham National third to Audacious Plan represents solid form, and from the same mark, he's likely to relish this drop back in trip on ground which clearly suits. In a very pleasing looking contest for the opening day of the season at Catterick, both Thumb Stone Blues and the steadily weights climbing Strongly Suggested represent realistic alternatives to the selection.
