Questions have to be asked of CHIRICO VALLIS after he ran out at Gowran last weekend. He'd been placed in much better company than this earlier but doesn't look one to put too much faith in at the moment. King's War hadn't shown much before a better effort behind Miss Mardan here and further progress should see him in the frame while Banjo looks capable of better though probably over further.
