It looks as though Chivite has frightened away most of the opposition and he should have little difficulty seeing these off. Apart from when making his debut over timber, when finishing down the field, he has proved wonderfully consistent since, having not been out of the frame in his last five outings. A winner over this trip at Huntingdon, he may have found the three miles at Worcester just stretching him. Back over what looks to be his optimum trip, he should have little difficulty in disposing of these. Shannon Quest, who appeared to lose his way over fences, hasn't been disgraced in a couple of minor events over hurdles recently, but he is well exposed and is unlikely to trouble the selection on these terms. Behzad has a little race in him and has found improvement for the step up to this trip. However, he has it all to do with Chivite on these terms. No Mercy is of little account over hurdles, but Pharbeit is interesting as he showed promise behind the useful Be Fair at Huntingdon back in May. This trip should suit and he may be the one to chase Chivite home.
