FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CHAMPAGNE AUCTION can continue to improve despite being a seven year old. His initial form was poor but won on debut for a new yard at Cork, beating two subsequent winners and can defy a 7lb higher mark. He had been declared with a tongue-tie when a withdrawn reserve at Punchestown on Tuesday but runs without it today. Future Romance looks attractively handicapped on her best flat form but was beaten a long way on Curragh reappearance in October, albeit that was her first run in 386 days and should improve considerably. Stablemate Thefaithfulindian is a three-time flat winner who is race-fit and finished second on her most recent hurdle runs, from similar ratings. Molly Kaye is a previous course and distance (ish) winner who despite being an exposed nine year old, has a favourable rating on the evidence of her recent flat form, reverting to hurdles. Brehon Star failed to land a gamble here recently while Ucandoit, Ventnor and O Mio Babbino have useful recent form.
An extended handicap hurdle for four years old and upwards rated 80-95
Penalties - Winner of a hurdle race after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each hurdle race won.
