In depth
Verdict
THINK CHAMPAGNE just missed out in a similar contest here last time and should have no trouble confirming superiority with Margaret Beaufort, Philos and Sexy Rexy. Tony Carroll’s charge looks the one to beat. Of the remainder Tiz Likely and Wadacre Inca make their handicap debuts and are preferred to Edwina Sheeran.
