AN PEANN DEARG has taken well to chasing and has shaped like there may be more to come, so he's fancied to make a successful handicap debut in this sphere from what appears to be a lenient mark. Malton Groove is well treated and returned to form last time, so he's a danger along with General Clermont who, admittedly, needs to bounce back.
