FormscanBy Alan Magee - DELTA WORK is a high-class recruit to cross country racing and looks the heir apparent to Tiger Roll for connections in this sphere after beating that equine legend at Cheltenham in March. The multiple Grade 1 winning chaser went on to finish a highly creditable third to Noble Yeats in the Randox Grand National. Freewheelin Dylan was well behind the selection when seventh at Aintree and hopefully the former Irish Grand National winner can be reinvigorated by this discipline. Midnight Maestro has the advantage of previous experience over these unique banks and won over course and distance in February but disappointed at Cheltenham. Enda Bolger also saddles Champagne Platinum, a useful staying handicap chaser who is sure to be well schooled over the banks.
