Formscan - CHAMPION AGAIN OLE ended 2025 on a high by getting off the mark at Kempton and picked up where he left off at Wolverhampton, with Candonomore back in fifth. A gelding operation appears to have been the making of him and he is worth sticking with. Tiger Crusade has been found wanting in class 2 company but the last time he appeared at this level, he got on the scoresheet at Lingfield. Returning pair Silver Trumpet and Shimmering Spin are both worth a look.
