In depth

Verdict

Champagne Agent won a bumper here in April and has been expected to do better over hurdles but didn't show much until returning here three weeks ago when runner-up to Minella Lady. He'll do better when sent over fences. Giant's Quest also won a bumper here and scored on the Flat at Ballinrobe. He was a short-priced favourite at Killarney in May but finished lame and is on a retrieving mission. TOO SCOOPS won a Fairyhouse bumper in December and has done well over hurdles, improving with each run and just touched off by Gold Ability at Galway. That winner has scored again so the form looks useful and Henry De Bromhead's charge looks a really nice prospect. He can gain his first success over timber with Imperial Cascade one to keep an eye on for the future.
