Gary Moore's stable is going well and YUKON DELTA was third over course and distance last month before getting off the mark over timber over 2m4f at Plumpton. He has gone up 7lb for that but this looks a particularly weak opener. Goring Two is better over fences while Airpur Desbois has plenty to prove at present. Run Bob Run has been well beaten twice since a close-up third at Bangor in April but Titch Strider could be interesting dropping down a grade having won here in June last year when 3lb higher.
