FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CHAMPAGNE JURY finished behind today’s rival Dunleer Crystal on his last run but might turn around placings and defy top weight. Runner-up to a now-141-rated chaser in a point-to-point in November 2024, the selection had some useful form last season, including winning a heavy-ground bumper at Naas. While he finished three lengths behind Dunleer Crystal at Down Royal and the pair meet on the same terms, that was the selection’s first run for 240 days and progression is likely. Ifallgoeswell finished a useful second at Thurles on Sunday and has heavy ground form. All Night Revival’s recent bumper form isn’t outstanding but he has nice ability and debuts for new connections.
