DELGANY DEMON will take all the beating and his starting price is likely to reflect the fact. He dotted up by a distance at Southwell earlier in the month and can shrug off a penalty on that evidence. The remainder have yet to threaten with Paddy Mulligan finishing the nearest when beaten 15 lengths at Ludlow. Mr McGregor was tailed off when third of four at Uttoxeter and the remaining pair are even harder to fancy.
