        Verdict

        Another tough contest to call here for punters with many in with chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Chivite, Oracle des Mottes, and Dancer life and we will take a chance on Chivite. The gelding from the Phillip Hobbs yard won with consummate ease when defeating East Hill last time and although he has gone up in the weights, he may still be ahead of the handicapper so he is taken to win again with conditions again in his favour.Oracle des Mottes rates the main danger he won a maiden hurdle last time out when defeating Ardishir . However this looks more competitive and he is not yet proven over a trip this far so for that reason he is opposed. Dancer Life is from a top yard and is one of the least exposed in the field so is worth noting in the market, while the Martin Pipe pair Vanormix and Fast Mix ran as if in the handicappers grip last time. So we are happy to side with the progressive Chivite.
