Verdict

DELGANY DEADLINE shaped as if some way ahead of his basement mark before being picked up by a similarly unexposed type on just his second chase start at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago. This drop back in trip looks a plus on that evidence and he can make a bold bid with further progress in the offing. Just In A Bit appeals as the type to do better yet and he's next best. Last year's winner Ronnies Reflection and Nine Nine Nine, who has an excellent record here, complete the shortlist.
