GALOPIN DES CHAMPS looked a class act when sauntering to success on his chasing debut and another display of slick, flawless jumping should see him defend his unbeaten record before a tilt at one of the Grade 1 novices at Cheltenham. His stablemate Capondanno could give him most to think about, while Master McShee could get involved if the emphasis is on stamina.
