Hutton's Deelish can prove the Top Boy in 'lesser' Oxford A1

DEELISH TOP BOY tends to tackle slightly stronger company than the A1 field he meets in Oxford's 3.29 over 450m and he makes plenty of appeal as a result.

Kevin Hutton's charge has a decent start in him but is not must lead and, turning within striking distance, he can settle the issue along the back straight.

The last three races he has contested have been won in sub-27.00sec times and it is unlikely something quite as sharp will be required in this.

There is early Friday Irish action at Mullingar with Vincent Lynch's Killeshill Messi (11.47) looking to improve on his four from five record at A5 level, while Curraheen Park is the Irish evening venue where Eamonn Morton's Broken Best has plenty going for her in an A4 at 8.26.

Harlow has a morning/evening double-header with Dave Carter's Swift Waffle (12.12) looking good for a fifth victory in her last eight A7 appearances, while Jason Gornall's Anna Bella (7.24) can open her account at the track at the fifth time of asking.
