Verdict

CHESAPEAKE is the best of these over hurdles and got off the mark at the first time of asking over fences. He survived an early blunder at Worcester to run out a cosy winner in the end and will be a short-price to follow-up. Call At Midnight made a promising debut over the larger obstacles when third at Hereford and should figure over this shorter trip, while dual hurdles winner Natural Action should be thereabouts on his chasing bow. Wee Ziggy has been placed four times in six starts over fences and could prove best of the rest.
