      Verdict

      Silva Eclipse has won three times over hurdles but has not been in the best of form lately and needs further. His stable companion, Informateur, was due to run yesterday at Catterick. CHANTRY HOUSE, third in last year’s Supreme Novices’, never really looked like beating a couple of smart rivals at Cheltenham last time but had won easily at Ascot earlier and can get back on track today. Coconut Splash has placed in a couple of decent novice handicaps so far and makes more appeal than The Wolf, who had had his limitations exposed since a victory at Chepstow in October.
