Champagne Fever heads betting to give Mullins more big race success

Champagne Fever is 11-4 favourite with Coral to give Willie Mullins more big race success on English soil with victory in Friday’s Melling Chase.  Fellow Irish raider Don Cossack is next in the betting at 4-1, ahead of Al Ferof at 5-1.

“Willie Mullins dominated last month’s Cheltenham Festival when sending out eight winners, and although Champagne Fever was not among them having been forced to miss the Champion Chase in strange circumstances, we favour him to gain compensation in style on Friday,” said Coral’s David Stevens.
