Chives is a half-brother to the yard’s winning hurdler Mill Green so worth a market check but this otherwise looks a two-horse race on paper between Robin's Dream and BALKO SAINT (NAP). The former was close up when falling at Sandown last month having chased home the well-regarded Gallyhill at Newbury on his hurdling debut but Jane Williams’ four-year-old is receiving 13lb, including Chester Williams’ claim, and he split a couple of very smart juveniles when third in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time.
