Verdict
Chauvelin's only success has come on Polytrack and he's untested on ground this fast on Turf. He attempted to make all at Lingfield last time but had been headed when impeded at the furlong pole. FELIX FABULLA, who eventually finished second in that event, has a victory on firm ground to his credit and can confirm the form and take this. Perfect Legend's three Polytrack runs last term tell us little but he has more scope than most and it's possible a visor and longer trip could help Dark Diamond show some improvement.
