Verdict
CHIRICO VALLIS made a winning start over fences at Southwell and was still going well when falling four fences from home at Ludlow last month. A winner in testing ground over hurdles when trained in Ireland last year, Neil Mulholland’s charge should have the measure of Champagne James on these terms. The latter is the more experienced chaser but has yet to win in 10 starts over the larger obstacles and hasn’t raced since March.
