Verdict
Dantari, Geneva Geyser and TURNER BROWN have all had a single run over fences with preference for the Irish raider in a tight little beginners' chase. Most of his best form has come on ground with cut but he has scored on good ground and made a pleasing chase debut at Down Royal behind Pride Of The Artic over this trip. Dantari ran well over timber last time when runner-up to the much-improved Smalib Monterg and will be a danger if in the same form over larger obstacles whilst Geneva Geyser made a perfectly satisfactory chase debut last month when third to Ixora. Decent hurdler Aneyeforaneye makes his chase debut for the Jefferson team and completes the shortlist.
