A pretty desperate affair to end proceedings but Yukon Delta did win at Plumpton and Fontwell in the autumn. Up Four It wasn’t beaten far at the former track last month and ex-pointer Barney From Tyanee may fare better now going handicapping. General Girling and BLACKWOOD ROVER have been off the track for a while but should figure if fully wound-up. The former won twice at Fontwell at the end of 2015 with the proverbial ton in hand but the latter was only beaten half-a-length off this mark over fences when last seen so gets a tentative vote.
