FormscanBy Michael Graham - Henry de Bromhead won this race last year and could be cracking open the bubbly again courtesy of CHAMPAGNE GOLD. He looks to have the beating of Pienta on their run in a Clonmel maiden hurdle at the start of the month where they finished second and third respectively. There was four and three quarter lengths between them. Champagne Gold is 3lb better off now due to Dylan Robinson's claim. That was a promising racecourse debut behind an odds-on winner. The one caveat is that Pienta gets first-time blinkers after being placed in four maiden hurdles. They could help him find improvement. Capilano Bridge and Small Bad Bob both have the form to get in the mix. Place Des Vosges was a stayer on the flat and could make her presence felt in this sphere.
