Verdict

TEA AND CHATS never figured in points but there was plenty of promise to glean from his yard/hurdling debut second over C&D 5 weeks ago and, with progress anticipated, he gets the nod to go one place better. Hurdles debutante Fortuna Ligna heads up the dangers, along with Filanderer. Peace of Rome also commands a second look.
