In depth

Verdict

Hirvine has the scope to be a decent staying chaser and can open his account at the expense of Whitford Don, Tana River and Legatus. This appears to be a fair contest of sorts and those mentioned should all make their mark over the bigger obstacles. This trip should bring out the best in Hirvine who had good form over hurdles including a defat of Willie John Daly at Kempton last season. The undulations of Chepstow would not have suited him on his chase debut behind Limerick Leader, but he shaped much better when staying on into third at Market Rasen recently, and although he has been novicey so far, he is still learning and will be a lot sharper here. He can make that fitness tell over Whitford Don, Tana River and Legatus who have all been absent. The latter was third to Fork Lightning over fences here last December, while Tana River ran in a Grade 3 event at Sandown in March. Paul Nicholls has a massive team of young chasers and Whitford Don is another that is sure to have been well schooled, while Clever Thyne is also one to note. A fascinating contest with an eye to the future can go to Hirvine.
