Verdict

There shouldn't be much between HIDDEN HISTORY and Champagne Twist, with the latter meeting Dan Skelton's charge on 2 lb better terms compared to when third to that rival (beaten two lengths) at Aintree where they were both making their chase debuts. Champagne Twist's finest hour over hurdles came at this course and he is greatly respected, but Hidden History is proving most progressive for this yard and he is taken to strike again. Kelce and chase debutant Tommy The Tank are others with claims.
