    Verdict

    BERTIE LUGG probably only needs to replicate his latest second at Doncaster to go one better here, even though he's been raised a couple of pounds since. Jockey bookings would suggest Champagne Chaser will be the pick of Tim Vaughan's two runners, ahead of Normandy King, and he's also preferred to Johnnys Legacy and the equally moderate Agesilas.
