Delusionofgrandeur (8/11), The Bay Oak (15/8), Fayette County (7/1)
DELUSIONOFGRANDEUR is a 140 rated hurdler who ran to that mark when scoring here before Christmas. He has made all to win on his two previous runs here and looks set to be allowed to dictate the pace again. The Bay Oak lost nothing in defeat last time but faces a stiff task here if the selection runs to form. With the stable going through an indifferent spell of form he may have to settle for second best. Fayette County has shown he handles the ground and gets three miles. The question remains after his latest run as to whether he gets this far in this ground. With the selection sure to make this a true test he could find this longer trip asking too much.
