10st 2lb |
0-14 since bumper win in 2022; fourth and second in the last two Scottish Nationals, latterly off a reduced mark when wearing second-time cheekpieces two weeks ago; while that was a welcome return to form, position 12lb out of the handicap today demands so much more; 5lb claimer is called up. |

Won a bumper three years ago but 0-13 since; competitive over fences last season and his 6l fourth at 50-1 in this race (soft; 8lb lower today) last April reads well, but a poor sequence since was not greatly improved by his eighth when wearing first-time cheekpieces in last month's 3m6f NH Chase. |

Made it three wins from four starts for this yard when scoring at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; he's up in grade today but he was clear with a thriving runner-up last time and could take a 6lb rise in his stride. |

Ex Henry de Bromhead; unseated rider back under rules at Hexham on penultimate start but bounced back to justify favouritism at Ludlow (3m, good; 7l winner) the following week; top rated and tough to beat if in similar form. |

Mixed form this season, best efforts over hurdles at Navan, winning 2m handicap and second to a progressive horse over 2m4f last time; two less encouraging runs over fences, well beaten in sixth in the 3m6f Porterstown Chase and pulled up at Leopardstown when found to have blood at both nostrils; trainer won this last year. |

Plenty short in the market but well held on debut in Killarney bumper over a year ago and burst blood vessel when pulled up on hurdles debut at Navan in November on soft; has since left Noel Meade's and first start for Gordon Elliott here; market likely informative in a maiden which won't take too much winning. |

Reserve; had some decent form a few season's ago but was pulled-up lame on return from a long absence and has to bounce back from that. |
Verdict
Having bumped into the subsequent Grade 3 winner Hiddenvalley Lake last time, MALTON GROOVE is unlikely to encounter a similar rival today, so can score. Klarc Kent is a danger on return, with his bumper win looking solid form, while Potters Party and Heyjoe De Kerser both shaped with promise on their rules debuts. [Tyrone Molloy]
