Verdict
Despite a double penalty, it’s difficult to look beyond POP THE CHAMPAGNE whose stable continues to fire in the winners. Olly's Folly will probably be placed again with Turpin Gold best of the others with experience, though Duesenberg has scope. Regulator made the frame over 1m2f on the Flat, as did Bbob Alula, and this sharp track should suit both.
