Verdict

No form to go on but lots of potential in this closing bumper and the market should reveal plenty. Dan Skelton's Doyen gelding NEWGROVE was an impressive winner on his only run in an Irish point in the spring and gets the nod over Geissler who hails from a yard with a good record in this event. Treble Three and Radiant Walk are also in excellent hands and need factoring in, too.
