There are numerous races of real interest today in Down Royal but the focus is on the Grade 1 Ladbrokes Champion Chase, in which Delta Work, Presenting Percy and Chris’s Dream head a top-class field.
Presenting Percy, making his debut for Gordon Elliott, can get his season off to a winning start and, in the process, notch a first success since January 2019. He finished behind Delta Work in the Grade 1 Irish Gold Cup but may well have reversed that form at Cheltenham but for tipping up at the second-last when making significant late progress.
