    Verdict

    Best Trition has made the frame in all three starts over hurdles, twice over this sort of trip. But the extra distance should suit CITY CHIEF, who has only found one too good at Ascot and Doncaster and won over 3m between the flags. Prince Des Fichaux is only the second foal to race of a smart hurdler and chaser in France and any market support should be noted.
