French Group 1 bumper winner Delirant is not highly tried on his hurdling debut and the market should be informative in relation to his prospects, but the fitting of a hood so early reveals continuing concerns he may not settle. Marettimo sets a modest standard, but one that should see him make the frame, and American History should give a good account over this longer trip. WINTER SPICE is a Flat winner who shaped well on his hurdling debut following an absence from the track when the uneven tempo counted against him. There are a few in here who like to make the running so that should not be an issue this time.
