Verdict
Chantry Falls can have the measure of Vizulize and Danum. Chantry Falls has gone well in this grade of late, having just been denied by Eight Ellington over the course and distance before posting a very eye catching third to Maria Bonita at Lingfield 12 days ago. Held up at the rear after encountering a bit of trouble, he fairly flew home, finishing a length-and-a-quarter behind the runner-up Vizulize, and although meeting that rival on the same terms here, is strongly fancied to turn the tables on this, his first run for David Evans. The Welsh trainer was obviously impressed enough to quickly snap him up out of James' Given's yard at the auction and will expect immediate dividends. Danum should be held on their running here the time before last, but maybe best of the rest unless the market suggests otherwise. Based on that last run though, Chantry Falls should make amends.
