We finish the day's card with a hunter chase and DIVINE INTAVENTION should be up to taking this ahead of Orient Legend and Pass The Parsel. The selection is the youngest horse in the line-up and therefore open to more improvement then most. It's surprising that he runs in a hunter chase at such a young age and this looks a very good opportunity to get its head in front. Its bumper form is very good and he'll meet nothing like the competition he faced in bumpers today. Furthermore Divine Intervention also has vey good course form so this looks a golden opportunity to win a race. Orient Legend has a similar profile to that of the favourite. He's only seven-years-old and has a consistent profile. His form is not as good as the selections but he still seems to be improving and should run his race. Pass The Parsel has been around the block now but holds his form well. If cutting out the mistakes he should make his presence felt but we do like the selection.
