Classy field for Champagne

Rip Van Winkle, the general 7-1 second-favourite for next year’s 2000 Guineas, is one of 19 possible runners for Saturday’s Keepmoat Champagne Stakes at Doncaster.

Aidan O’Brien’s colt won the Group Three Tyros Stakes back in July and currently sits behind stablemate Mastercraftsman in the market for the Newmarket Classic.
