The last two winners of this race have both been trained by English trainers at odds of 25/1. Champagne Chic is trained by Jeremy Scott and ridden by Lorcan Williams. He has won his last two races, which were both in lower-grade races than today, but he looks to be progressing. Today he races off a seven-pound higher mark than when winning at Haydock just under a month ago. His chances may improve if they decide to water the course overnight, as his last two wins came on good-to-soft and heavy ground. He races off a mark of 131, which is the same rating as last year's winner.

By their standards, Motherwell are having a fantastic season. They are fourth in the table, one place behind Celtic, who are not having the best of seasons. They beat Celtic when they welcomed them at the end of December. It's been over ten years since Motherwell won at Celtic. However, with the form of these two teams, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that Motherwell can win.
