      Verdict

      Ex-French performer Delaware has been found another easy opportunity and the TEAMtalk selection should take full advantage in an uncompetitive opener. The Martin Pipe-trained gelding was a comfortable winner last time and will have no difficulty in handling the testing conditions. Great Oaks has clearly had his problems and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains so dual course and distance winner, Ice Saint, may be the one for the forecast.
