FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Typical of Gordon Elliott, he has been pretty understated about CHAMPAGNE CLASSIC after his couple of wins so far. Jamie Codd judged things to a nicety but I thought the Stowaway gelding was impressive when he landed a Fairyhouse bumper over two and a half miles in November. Then, here at Thurles as well, the Gigginstown House Stud-runner again took the eye with the manner of his victory by eight and a half lengths over Freeway Space in a staying maiden hurdle. The runner-up didn't exactly frank the form at Fairyhouse on Wednesday, and he drops in distance now, but Champagne Classic still gets the nod. It's a big enough ask for two of the five-year-olds, Ask Nile and Black Key, but definite cases can be built for any of the rest.
