DELTA WORK was impressive in this last season and looks well prepared to make it back-to-back successes. His stablemate Galvin is the other class act in this field and looks a huge threat if he takes to the new discipline, while Franco de Port represents another top Irish yard and has enough ability to make his presence felt. The others all have improvement to find.
