In depth
Verdict
DELTA BORGET has every chance on these terms. He didn’t get very far before unseating at Cheltenham last week but landed a couple of these events earlier in the year. Little Cornham was placed at Exeter when last over regulation fences but has won a point-to-point since then while Maxi Chop is another points winner and makes his debut over fences having placed in hurdles races. Hurdles winner Swallowshide won between the flags last month and also has his first start in a chase.
