      Verdict

      Point-to-point winner CHAMPAGNE WELL faded in the closing stages at Chepstow on his debut under Rules and first start for Fergal O'Brien. A conditional's 7lb allowance helps his cause today and he should have the measure of both Cellar Vie and Justcall'm John on that form. The remaining trio make their racecourse debuts with Nicky Richards' €55,000 purchase Big Bad Bear preferred to Enzillerya and the Flat-bred Desai.
