13/2

Fair winning handicapper who ended 2020 under a bit of a cloud. Has won off a break before though, so he's no forlorn hope on his comeback run.

DELGREY BOY looks poised to add to his earlier Thirsk success given he can race off the same mark as when an excellent clear second over C&D last week. In-form Delph Crescent appeals as the one to chase home Tim Easterby's well-weighted 4-y-o with recent Musselburgh scorer Asdaa likely to be in the shake-up too.
