A huge field but very few with realistic chances. Herminio started out in Ireland before transferring to race in France where he won three times in minor company on the Flat. Now with Willie Mullins, the son of New Approach is related to a winning jumper and is certain to attract attention. DELTA WORK also won on the level in France but has the advantage of a run over timber when just failing to hold off Royal Hawk at Cork, where a last-flight error didn't help. With that under his belt and in receipt of 8lb, he looks the one to be on. The remainder have shown very little though Mr Champers has been racing on ground too testing over hurdles after showing up well in bumpers.
