Tony Martin sends Delvin Road over from Ireland but he'll need to do better than his recent run at Down Royal where he looked one-paced. RELIC ROCK won two bumpers and finished runner-up in another three, the last of them a Grade 2 at Aintree. He started odds-on for his hurdling debut at Doncaster and though he couldn't cope with the late burst of Glingerburn it looked a very encouraging run and he can go one better. Weststreet is an obvious threat as he was a very easy bumper winner at Fontwell before a reasonable debut over hurdles in what looked a hot little contest at Market Rasen. Capard King has yet to find his form and winning point-to-pointer Lough Derg Walk was beaten a distance in a Uttoxeter bumper on his UK debut.
