Verdict

Willie Mullins has been unable to get a race out of CHAMPAGNE AGENT but this could be his day. He has come up against some decent opposition so far and produced a very good effort when attempting to concede 8lb to the promising Busty Brown at Roscommon last time. Seefood is certain to attract support as he was beaten a couple of lengths over timber at Kilbeggan in May and reappeared with a battling victory in a Clonmel bumper. Fergiethelegend, a dual point-to-point winner, made a satisfactory start over hurdles here in May while winning bumpers Peace In The West and Ravensbury should make hurdlers and can make their presence felt. Ma Belle Amie ran well on her hurdling debut at Listowel and is another to consider in an open contest.
