€210,000 3-y-o who is a brother to useful hurdler Constantine Bay (19f-3m winner). Shaped as if in need of the experience when midfield on Huntingdon hurdle debut and will do better in time.

Promise in bumpers and fairly useful form when runner-up all 3 outings over hurdles, the latest over this C&D 11 days ago. May well go one better this time.

Ex-pointer who achieved more than first time up over hurdles when fifth at Huntingdon in November but looks the type to do best as a chaser down the line.

Point winner who has shown fairly useful form in this sphere, making the frame all 5 starts. Ran below that level sent chasing at Stratford but big chance now back hurdling after a break/wind op.

In need of the experience sole start in bumpers and still looks a work in progress over hurdles, well-beaten fourth of 12 in a Hereford maiden hurdle last time.

Looked smart prospect when landing back-to-back Exeter bumpers in 2017/18. Very lightly raced since and went backwards from his reappearance at Uttoxeter last time. Wears first-time hood/tongue tie.

Verdict

CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM has already burnt plenty of fingers in-running in his short career to date, but with his latest effort backed up by the clock, he's given one more chance to get the job done. The well-bred Red Lion Lad is open to a good deal of improvement and is feared most ahead of the returning Firak.
