DELTA appeals as the type to improve for this move up to 2m and is taken to build on his encouraging reappearance in first-time cheekpieces. Ballyadam, a reliable servant over the years, remains capable in this sphere and rates the chief threat, with Too Bossy For Us respected on last year’s showing in this contest.
