Beltor has been hinting at a revival recently and it’s interesting that Harry Skelton rides El Borracho for Oliver Greenall in this with Dan saddling Simply Loveleh. Champagne City would be a shoe-in on his form of two years ago but he appears to have lost his way. Givepeaceachance won in a lower grade at Southwell but is 9lb higher. SUBLIME HEIGHTS doesn’t look particularly well treated on his handicap debut but there is scope for further improvement so he gets the nod with Huntingdon third Legend Of France probably best of the rest.
