Fizzlestix has been in poor form since returning from a long break but Chivers made a bold bid to concede 12lb to Brother Bennett at Fontwell, though that was over 2m2f and he's never raced over this trip. Midnight Calamity was beaten a long way when runner-up at Ludlow while Mount Oliver didn't jump very well at Sedgefield. DONT BE ROBIN ran reasonably well at Wincanton last month over a trip too short. He's dropped to his lowest mark since scoring at Chepstow in April and can get back to winning ways.
