Verdict

CHANTRY HOUSE has quickly made up into a cracking chaser, a beneficiary of Envoi Allen's early exit from the Marsh but impressive in his own right in drawing clear. He leaves the impression this longer trip will suit and he can land a second Grade 1. Shan Blue if ridden a little more conservatively, Sporting John and Espoir de Romay head the dangers.
