Verdict
A 100/1 chance won this a year ago but everything points to a big run from CHAMPION GREEN. Joseph O'Brien's charge is rated 90 on the Flat after landing a Punchestown maiden and made a very encouraging hurdles debut at Cork. The stable also run Happywifehappylife, a lightly-raced and progressive maiden on the level who will enjoy the testing ground. Baron Wild looked as though a longer trip would suit at Fairyhouse a couple of weeks ago and Doctor Churchill should also be suited by further in time.
