Leopardstown and Limerick tips: Delta Work a solid bet in Savills Chase

The Grade 1 Savills Chase is the feature on day three in Leopardstown and Delta Work can maintain his unbeaten record over fences at the venue. Three of his four runs here have been over fences, all three of them at Grade 1 level and he has come out on top on each of the three occasions.

The first of those wins was in a novice event which he won readily, and the next was in this race last year when he got up in the closing stages to collar Monalee, who, admittedly, lost an iron in the finish. Nevertheless, he had a couple of today’s rivals — Kemboy and Presenting Percy — behind on that occasion and can confirm the form. When winning the Irish Gold Cup here in February, he again had Kemboy and Presenting Percy behind.
