Verdict

A competitive opener with a number of in-form horses in the line up. Espeegee had won four races on the bounce, including a couple over C&D prior to the winning run ending at Lingfield latest. He's respected but the handicapper has taken aim and he has plenty on to confirm C&D form with Magistral. Conversely Something Brewing is potentially well treated from his current mark following a fluent success in a 2m jumpers bumper, but the standout selection is the Sharon Watt trained CHAMPAGNE RULES. He's on a hat-trick following emphatic early season successes, and a 9lb rise in the weights for his Kempton victory in November shouldn't be enough to thwart his progress.
