FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Recent Tipperary fifth CHAMPAGNE SALOON has every chance of registering a first career success. The Sean Aherne-trained eight-year-old kept on nicely to run a big race in a stronger grade than he encounters here. Having only had the seven starts under rules, the gelding should be open to some improvement. Handicap debutant One Flew Eau Verte showed enough in just three maiden outings to suggest she has a future. Although lacking the experience of some of these rivals, the Peter Fahey-trained mare could play a leading role. The former French trained Drum Roll catches the eye on her first handicap start for the in-form Paul Nolan stable. Any market support would be of interest.
