Verdict

Effectively a match, with the doubly penalised CHITU seeking to record a third success over fences for Irish handler Pat Griffin. He has proved himself equally adept over fences as over hurdles, and certainly wasn't disgraced behind the classy pair of Ballyandy and Fagan at Perth (2m4f) last month. He must concede 15lb to chasing debutant Gibson Park, and strictly on hurdles ratings that appears quite a task. However, the benefit of age and experience is just enough to sway the vote in his direction.
