Gordon Elliott comes here mob-handed and his veteran DELTA WORK is fancied to capitalise on a handy-looking mark and enhance his fine record round here. Fellow Irish raider Stumptown has age on his side and is feared most in his bid for a hat-trick of cross country events, with in-form maiden chaser Mister Coffey appealing as the pick of the home challengers. Former victor Latenightpass and Topham-hero Arizona Cardinal complete the shortlist.
