Chantara Rose must be respected with her stable currently in excellent form. She has just the one win from twenty starts under rules, however, and CHAMPAGNE GEORGE is preferred. Both of his wins have come at Fontwell and although he has been in modest form over hurdles recently, improvement can be expected now back on good ground conditions. Daryl Jacob has a 20% strike-rate when riding chasers for this yard and with many of this eight-year-olds rivals having serious questions to answer at present, he is backed to make a winning debut over fences today.
