Blame Thechampagne has had plenty of chances but mainly raced in strong company during the summer and this is a drop in class. Four Blondes was suited by some ease in the ground when not beaten far at Naas but SLANEY SWAGGER may prove best of those with experience as he was beaten less than a length on his debut here last month. Apachetwohundred was well beaten at Cork but looks certain to improve while Next Trick is a half-sister to three winners though should stay further in time.
