Verdict
Lovethehigherlaw won this for Willie Mullins last year before going on to take the Champion Bumper at Punchestown. Whether CHAMPAGNE FEVER can take the same route is debatable as he was beaten when odds-on for his debut under Rules at Leopardstown but the winner, Thomas Edison, could be a bit special and the third home has won very easily since. Kerrieonvic attracted support on his debut at Limerick but was undone by a slow pace. He stayed on strongly at the finish and will have come on for the experience as will Kerryhead Storm, who started favourite that day and finished very close behind. Jupitor was noted staying on nicely on his debut under Rules at Gowran and can make some progress.
