DELEGATE has proved expensive to follow but has performed with credit and ran into a nice prospect here last time so should go one better. Don't Touch It was well supported at Naas last month but looked in need of the experience and should do better. Thatshowhedidit has looked in need of a stiffer test of stamina and may not get it here while it's almost a year since Work Du Breteau made a promising start at Killarney and, though having a nice pedigree, he may just need the run.
