Champagne Rules has been raised 5lb for winning here last month though scored with a bit in hand and should be in the mix once again. But PAPARAZZI (NAP) missed out by only a neck over course and distance last time and dropping down a grade racing off the same mark today, Tracy Waggot’s charge gets the vote to go one better and confirm latest running with Tangled. Samphire Coast is another on the drop after placing at Cheltenham while Paddyplex went close over 1m2f here recently and Little Jo is not badly treated though remains less than reliable.
