Record of 5/17 on turf most recently when victorious over 1m6f at Salisbury (good-to-soft) last October. Couple of decent placed efforts so far this season including when runner-up over C&D in April and not disgraced in the Northumberland Plate last time out.

14/1
Ten time winner in a 55 race career so far though failed to win since a heavy ground success at Nottingham in October 2015. Raced over hurdles in the main since then and rated 1lb lower than for that Nottingham success today.

Twice a winner from four starts since being gelded. Latest of those came over 1m6f at Sandown (good) last month though disappointing off this mark when wearing a tongue tie (retained) for the first time at Haydock (good-to-firm) subsequently. Steps up in trip here.

Verdict

CHAMPAGNE CHAMP has made the running in the past and raced close to the leader when contesting a valuable contest in first time cheekpieces last time out. The selection may be granted a relatively soft lead and has run well over C&D in the past. Pumblechook has a placed effort over 2m to his name and has won twice over shorter already this season and is taken to finish second today while Aurora Gray, placed over this distance last time out can claim third here.
  1. Champagne Champ
  2. Pumblechook
