FormscanBy Gary Carson - CHAMPAGNE BEAUTY stayed on nicely from the rear when fourth at Thurles last time and looks capable of winning off her current mark. She had plenty to do then when coming from the back of the field and stuck at it well when behind Getaday. That rival went up 6lb for his victory and Champagne Beauty is entitled to get closer now. The better going should suit now as she won on good ground at Roscommon last September. Notice To Close had his winning sequence ended at Naas in late January. That was a hot heat though and after a short break it would be no surprise if he was a big player in this company now.
