Verdict

MALTON GROOVE returned from 12 months off with an excellent Naas fourth (form proving very strong) so gets the vote with this step up in trip also a positive for this son of Kayf Tara. Potters Party is another who will benefit from this longer distance and he rates the chief threat ahead of Willie Mullins' interesting hurdling newcomer Klarc Kent.
