Verdict

It's likely that CHAMPAGNE PIAFF will be well found in the market with Ryan Moore booked on the back of an encouraging return from a monster absence at Bath. However, that's just about the only negative mark against this lightly-raced 6-y-o, who was a winner here off this mark on his sole previous visit in September 2021 and he shaped at Bath as though this step back up in trip would be ideal. Splendent and Hope You Can Run are put forward as the main dangers given doubts surrounding The Goat.

  1. CHAMPAGNE PIAFF (FR)
  2. SPLENDENT (IRE)
  3. HOPE YOU CAN RUN (IRE)
