Verdict

DELTA WORK was impressive when chasing home the talented and well-handicapped Total Recall at Leopardstown last time out and he may be the one to side with despite a small rise in the weights. Market support for Eagle Lion is likely to be significant on handicap debut while Hareth was impressive last time out and is an interesting each-way contender in the hope he can see out this step up in trip.
