Verdict

PARTY VIBES had excuses over hurdles last time and is worth another chance back chasing having looked as good as ever when winning a competitive event at Cheltenham in December. Regal Renaissance has a good record here and could well figure again, while Molto Bene can't be dismissed back in handicap company.
