DELTA WORK had a few re-opposing rivals behind when staying on strongly under pressure on the run-in to beat Monalee ahead in the Grade 1 Savils chase over C&D in December. The Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old should be suited by the early pace of either Kemboy or Jett in the early stages of the contest. The highest rated in the race, Kemboy is the clear and obvious danger to the selection ahead of Presenting Percy the mount of jockey Davy Russell. Bellshill, out of form this term landed the spoils here 12 months ago and could go well at a price if dramatically rediscovering his form.
