Verdict
CHAMPAGNE GOLD made a promising start over timber when second at Clonmel to a horse rated 120. He meets nothing of that calibre here and Henry De Bromhead sent out last year’s winner. Pienta finished behind the selection at Clonmel but Small Bad Bob is fitted with a hood after a decent effort at Fairyhouse when finishing a couple of lengths in front of Capilano Bridge. Blue Heather has placed in bumpers and makes her hurdling bow along with Place Des Vosges, who has won twice on the Flat.
