KEEP MOVING is probably high enough in the weights at present but there was nothing wrong with his latest second at Chepstow and Philip Hobbs’ chasers have a good strike-rate around here. Gone Platinum also has a chance but Jarlath is better treated and has been running well enough to get involved. Blairs Cove was making his chasing debut when well beaten here earlier in the month and is well handicapped on his hurdles form but Envole Toi hasn’t shown much in two runs over the larger obstacles in this country.
