FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A chance is taken with first reserve CHAMPAGNE AUCTION, who can continue to progress. His initial form was poor but won on debut for a new yard at Cork, beating two subsequent winners. He is 7lb higher and now wears a tongue-tie but remains unexposed. Penny Jar progressed well during the summer and while also open to more improvement, hasn't run since September and encounters easier ground, rated 8lb higher. Cher Why Not returned from a break to win at Clonmel and while he ran well here 10 days ago, now drops in distance. Irisdescent will benefit from a reappearance run over an inadequate distance at Wexford while Anyonecanhaveitall is a five-time flat winner who has recent form but would prefer good ground. Four-time winner Breezy Bell has been well held on latest runs while Siberian Star was well held at Navan. Handicap debutante Verdant Place could be capable and notably steps up in distance. Clear The Clouds wasn't beaten far at Clonmel and also steps up in distance.
