Champagne Jury

Trained by Gavin Cromwell at Navan, Champagne Jury won most recently at Gowran Park two months ago, and with his last race just three weeks in the past, he remains an active part of the yard's plans. Cromwell's operation has already sent out 94 winners this season, so there is proven form and support behind this horse. His first career win came at Naas in late January 2025, and the recent Gowran Park victory shows he has not lost his touch — a fourth-place finish and a third-place finish punctuate his latest six-race sequence, suggesting he remains competitive even when he does not win.

What makes Champagne Jury interesting is his consistency rather than any flashy single achievement. A horse who wins 1 in 3 and regularly places is the kind of runner who pays his way and gives his yard regular ammunition. At seven years old, he is in the middle of his career arc, neither a rising prospect nor a veteran on the way down, and his recent form shows he is still capable of winning — a testament to his durability and the training he receives.
