Verdict
BRAVE WAY has failed to land the odds the last twice but Rachael Blackmore has travelled over especially to ride Henry De Bromhead’s mare and she should finally recoup losses. Champagnesuperover only won a match at Catterick on his fifth try over fences while Champagne Sparkles has pulled up the last twice and has been off the track since January. Our Ted is even harder to fancy.
