Verdict

Pop The Champagne has been beaten in a couple of subsequent outings since making a winning debut in an all-weather bumper at Lingfield. Hazy Dream finished runner-up at Exeter earlier but struggled last time so a chance is taken on a newcomer. All The Glory is a half-sister to a hurdles winner and could figure but SALCOMBE is related to decent chaser Mick The Jiver as well as a dual bumper winner so Colin Tizzard’s mare gets a speculative vote.
