Verdict
EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE made a winning debut over fences when scoring at Doncaster and there should be plenty more to come over the larger obstacles. Warriors Story led at the last at Ayr but was caught on the line so is another to consider while Thunder In Milan bled when second over a shorter trip here and drops down a grade. Shanbally Rose ran below par last time but had gone close over track and trip before that.
