Perfect Man has plummeted down the ratings but looks a light of former days and Fightfortheroses has gone off the boil since winning at Sedgefield in January. Lovely Moon was prominent for a long way at Kelso on Saturday but weakened quickly off the final turn so EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE (NAP) looks the one to beat. Nicky Richards’ charge ran his best race to date on his handicap debut at Newcastle and has been left on the same mark.
