Formscan - CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY left his reappearance fifth at Cheltenham in January behind him when finishing a staying-on third in a steadily-run affair over 2m4f at Kempton most recently and, eased 1lb since, this veterans' contest looks a good opportunity for him to return to the winner's enclosure. Riders Onthe Storm went close to making all over an extended 2m at Doncaster on his first start after wind surgery earlier this month, and a bold showing is once again anticipated, although his tendency to jump slightly right-handed tempers enthusiasm somewhat. Forecast conditions should hold no fears for the hat-trick seeking Thor De Cerisy and he completes the shortlist.
