CHIRICO VALLIS was running a good race at Ludlow last month on handicap bow when coming to grief four out and would likely have gone very close to doubling his tally Neil Mulholland bar that departure. He goes up in trip slightly now and looks to hold the better claim here, with fitness on his side.
Champagne James was never the most consistent during his career in Ireland (2-18 overall) and he may be found wanting in the closing stages now return from a long absence against a race-fit rival.
