Forecasts

Double W's (2/1), Mcgroarty (10/3), Champagne At Tara (6/1), Dandridge (6/1), Wells De Lune (6/1), Valseur Du Granval (7/1)

Verdict

Champagne At Tara posted a much better effort at Aintree last time and is respected, with the forecast better ground a plus, but he's not one to set your watch by and remains 5lb above his previous winning mark. Preference is for hat-trick seeking DOUBLE W'S. He gave up ground at the start last time at Warwick and was idling in front near the end. There's more in the tank and he can continue winning ways. Dandridge and Valseur Du Granval can battle out for minors, with the latter needing to prove he can show his best away from Ludlow.
