Verdict

Delegate has been unfortunate to come up against some smart hurdlers and this sort of trip and ground should enable him to reach the frame again, though once again he faces stiff opposition. Our Duke won a Punchestown bumper in November by a distance then just failed to concede the promising Death Duty 3lb in a Listed event at Navan. He looks a smart hurdling prospect, a remark that also applies to PYLONTHEPRESSURE. Willie Mullins' charge, a successful point-to-pointer and bumper, found Tombstone just too strong on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse but had the remainder well beaten and is expected to go one better. Shay Barry's Kalanisi King should win races over timber though he may need this after a break.
