Verdict

Ch'tibello won on heavy ground at Compeigne in the spring and is an interesting addition to Dan Skelton's yard. But it's doubtful he'll have the speed to cope with FRANCIS OF ASSISI on this quicker going. John Fergsuon's novice, a Listed winner on the Flat, has won both starts over hurdles with the minimum of fuss and should complete the hat-trick. The once-raced Galuppi will pick up some unexpected prize money if he completes in his own time.
