    Verdict

    Groveman has rather flattered to deceive since winning a juvenile hurdle at Catterick in January but still looks the main danger to the penalised MAGNA CARTOR. Richard Newland’s charge made all at Uttoxeter for a wide-margin victory and may get his own way out in front again. Chieftain's Choice has his sights lowered but has never won off a mark this high, though still makes more appeal than the maiden Bobndave and Far Bihoue.
