CHAMPAGNE TO GO has been well supported in all three starts over hurdles after landing a point and a bumper. She only just failed to reel in Westerbee at Lingfield and with the ground certain to suit she'll take some beating. Final Reminder hails from a yard in top form and made a successful debut between the flags at Necarne in May after which she went for £55,000 at the sales. Lastbutnotleast won a point last October and made a successful debut under Rules in a Sedgefield bumper before finishing mid-division in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree. Sunset Marquis showed improved form in bumpers in Ireland and will be better for her debut for new connections at Ayr where she attracted strong support.
