Verdict
Champagne City is one of three course winners in the line-up but he is the senior runner in this and the lack of a recent run is a concern. Ludlow winner Sofia's Rock couldn’t cope with a 7lb rise at Warwick and Clearance has gone up 5lb since scoring here a month ago with the runner-up beaten again since. State Crown needs more but slips further down the ratings. KOLISI has continued to run well off higher marks since rattling up a hat-trick in April. Cheekpieces are applied today and he makes more appeal than Aintree third Krypton Gold.
