The vote goes to CLUB MANAGER, who didn't do a great deal wrong returned to this sphere when second at Wexford last month and he has plenty going for him here. Despite misgivings with regard to this drop in trip, both Malina Girl and Positive Thinker have to be respected back hurdling off potentially very handy marks, particularly the former who is 30 lb lower compared to when finishing down the field in the Irish Grand National when last seen in April. Burru is also worth a second look.
