Verdict

This could be between Festive Affair and CHAMPAGNE AT TARA. The former is a C&D winner who won at Ludlow last time in good style, but even more impressive when last seen was the selection. An eight-length winner of a slightly lesser handicap chase than this, he looked ready to take the step back up to this level with an 8lb rise fair enough. Oliver's Gold unseated over hurdles last time but the return to chasing could help him be third best.
  1. Champagne At Tara
  2. Festive Affair
  3. Oliver's Gold
