A race that looks likely to be contested largely between the penalised runners and it is DELIRE D'ESTRUVAL at the head of the list that gets the vote. There was a great deal to like about his attitude at Haydock last time on desperate ground and provided he is over those exertions there could be a fair bit more to come. Landin and New To This Town are both well worth keeping an eye on too and the latter, in particular, could rate a danger, while Cintex makes some appeal in receipt of weight and the well-related Angel Of Harlem can't be dismissed on one run and a market check is advised to gauge confidence this time around.
