Verdict
CHAMPAGNE RHYTHM was reeled in close home by Rocheston here last time but had Franco D'Aunou 10 lengths away in third and deserves a change of luck. Rocheston’s trainer runs both Montys Medoc and Pozo Emery and the latter is a danger, despite making his hurdling debut. De Young Warrior has place claims again while Ranieri wasn’t beaten far over a longer trip at Hereford on his debut under Rules. Sopran Thor has been quite highly tried so far and looks a likely type for a handicap in the near future.
