DELTA WORK is the class act in this field and there's good reason to think he will land this before bidding for back-to-back wins at the festival. Singing Banjo was only a short head behind the selection at Punchestown last time and is getting plenty of weight, so he's an obvious danger, while Plan of Attack could return to form.
