Verdict

Formerly with Gordon Elliott, Delegate has won over hurdles and fences and was running in a Grade 1 company less than a year ago. However, he was pulled up in a point-to-point when favourite on his debut for Josh Guerriero so has a bit to prove now. KARINGA DANCER last ran under Rules in 2016 but has won five times between the flags since and may still have the ability to land a race like this. Hidden Charmer looks a very moderate performer and time has caught up with Sam Cavallaro.
