Verdict
CHAMPAGNE CLASSIC has some top-class hurdles form under his belt, and had the likes of Penhill, Monalee, Al Boum Photo and Presenting Percy all behind when winning at the 2017 Punchestown Festival. He shaped with lots of promise when third on his chasing debut in Grade 3 company at Naas last month and, entitled to improve significantly for that first run in 641 days, can reverse form with the runner-up Chris's Dream en route to landing the spoils. Any Second Now also has a squeak following his fifth in the Paddy Power Chase.
Verdict
CHAMPAGNE CLASSIC was a smart novice hurdler in 2016/17 (Cheltenham Festival and Grade 1 winner), and shaped very well on chase debut at Naas before lack of peak fitness caught him out after 21 months off, his jumping and the way he moved through the race suggesting he's got a big future in this sphere as long as he remains sound. Chris's Dream and Any Second Now are the obvious threats.
