Verdict
DARVER STAR ran poorly at Punchestown after just failing to concede the winner 33lb over this track and trip in March. He can return to winning ways as Champagne Gold isn't in the best of form though he's been here twice and won both. Birchdale has the form for this but he's better over further unless the ground turns testing while Snugsborough Hall would also prefer further. All Those Years hasn't had much racing for his age and has the scope to do better after just three runs over fences.
