Verdict
DELACHANCE should be getting off the mark in this. Placed twice in novice company and once in a maiden this season, an opening handicap mark of 72 is not excessive and his form appears head and shoulders above that of his rivals. Perfect Charm may be the one for forecast-backers under Oisin Murphy as she also makes her handicap debut and is expected to be suited by the drop to 5f. Jarrocho looks sully exposed but is still preferred to Layla's Dream.
