DELTA WORK has done nothing wrong over fences, and his third in the RSA at Cheltenham came in an extremely strong renewal of that event. He sets a solid standard, and if anyone can match him it may be the exciting A Plus Tard, whose Cheltenham win came in handicap company, but was as impressive visually as any performance at that meeting. Discorama was second in a gruelling National Hunt Chase, but is no slouch, and he can't be dismissed out of hand back in trip.
