Verdict

CHAMPAGNE PLATINUM deserved extra credit for his second at Punchestown when conceding first run to the winner and he can go one better here off a handy-looking mark. Franco De Port rates a big threat though on the back of his very good Gowran second, with in-form duo Ronald Pump and Alfa Mix and last year's victor Scoir Mear all in the mix too in a very open contest.
