Verdict
CHRONOGRAPH placed again when upped in trip at Chester but missed out by only a neck and has the strongest form on offer. Berkshire Sundance finished closer over 1m4f at Salisbury without threatening while Lowick’s latest run at Kempton can be written off as his bit slipped. Eagle Fang is related to several winners and is a newcomer to note.
