Verdict

DELPOTRO quickly returned to form after a break when third at Plumpton in March and has good prospects of dominating this small-field affair at a track which often suits tearaway front runners. Quick Sharpener is hard to catch right but is capable from this mark if revitalised by a change of yard.
