Shaped better than result when third of 4 on C&D chase debut on return from an absence in November. Hasn't built on that in 2 subsequent outings, although the drop to 21f didn't help at Hereford last time and he's respected back at Plumpton.

Modest winner over hurdles and came good at the fifth time of asking over fences in 3m Exeter mares handicap 14 days ago. Should remain competitive off 7 lb higher.

Has responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces, making it third time lucky over fences at Leicester (23f, soft) in February. Likely capable of even better for top stable, particularly now stepping back up in trip.

Poor maiden hurdler, with his latest Plumpton third the best placing he's managed in 5 outings this season. Steps up in trip for his chase debut with a tongue tie also added.

Forecasts

Delgany Deadline (2/1), Sweet Nightingale (2/1), Ballyfinn (7/2), Milan Milos (4/1)

Verdict

If DELGANY DEADLINE continues his trend of race-by-race progression over fences he can likely cope with a 5 lb rise for Leicester. Ballyfinn shaped quite well on his previous Plumpton visit and might be the one to give Dan Skelton's charge most to do.

  1. Delgany Deadline2/1
  2. Ballyfinn7/2
  3. Sweet Nightingale2/1
