The Ayr bumper winner Idee De Garde rates as the likeliest danger to the Nicky Henderson-trained CHAMPAGNE PLATINUM. Dan Skelton takes care of the now tongue-tied 5yo for the first time (formerly with Nicky Richards). However, he faces a potentially formidable rival on his introduction to hurdling in the shape of the £250,000 former Irish pointer. Henderson has a strong record in the race, courtesy of Quantitativeeasing (2009), Malt Master (2011) and Full Shift (2013), so it'll undoubtedly go down as a disappointment if this now JP McManus-owned gelding can't strike at the first time of asking under rules.
