QUIVVY BRIDGE is the form pick to land the opener at the expense of Seraphim Knight and Sweet Seville. The selection has won twice already this season and was not discredited after finishing second to Just Moscow at Ffos Las on his latest outing. He has the services of Tony McCoy this time to enhance his chances and is the one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. Seraphim Knight has been improving with race experience and was not beaten far behind High Gales on his latest outing at Hereford earlier in the month. He comes from a top stable and warrants respect. As does Sweet Seville who was only moderate on the flat but has shown a vast improvement over hurdles this summer. He broke his maiden tag at Worcester in June and was not discredited behind Baddam at the same venue last time out so any market moves should be noted. Quivvy Bridge however has the best form on offer and is the one they all have to beat.
