1/1

Smart horse. 13/8, bit below form ¾-length second of 5 to Champagne Prince in listed race at Kempton (12f) 51 days ago. Shouldn't be much between them again.

22/1

Useful gelding. 14/1, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden cheaply when creditable third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 36 days ago. May strip fitter with that under his belt.

Champagne Prince⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 98| C

11/10

Smart colt. Course winner. 2/1, career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Kempton (12f) 51 days ago by ¾ length from Eydon, having run of race but always holding the runner-up. 2 lb worse off but may uphold the form.

Forecasts

Eydon (1/1), Champagne Prince (11/10), By The Book (5/2), Claymore (18/1), Intinso (22/1)

CHAMPAGNE PRINCE was better than ever when seeing off Eydon at Kempton last month and while he came in for a good ride on the day and is 2 lb worse off, he may well come out on top again.
