Verdict

Whitchurch is likely to be at short odds after showing reasonable form here and at Kempton, though he's been looking one-paced at the business end of his races. He's comfortably the pick of those with experience but CHAMPAGNE RANSOM won't need to be anything special to make a successful start and the half-sister to three winners, including a Group 3 winner in France, can make a winning debut. Grey's Angel looked as though the run would do her good here 10 days ago and should prove best of the remainder.
