Verdict

Solid form is pretty thin on the ground in this contest so FIZZLESTIX, having just his second start over fences, is taken to land the spoils. The top weight has a first-time tongue-tie which may help and ran well for a long way at Haydock last time. Mount Oliver has clearly had issues and doesn't stand much racing but has shaped with some promise on his last two runs and may again go close, while Dont Be Robin is often in the thck of it but is a rare scorer and Chivers, who has ability, has stamina to prove at this trip.
