Jasmin De Vaux (6/4), Redemption Day (9/2), Romeo Coolio (5/1), William Munny (6/1), Harbour Highway (9/1), The Yellow Clay (16/1), You Oughta Know (25/1), Sounds Victorius (28/1), Shuttle Diplomacy (33/1), Switch From Diesel (66/1), Argento Boy (80/1), My Great Mate (200/1)

Verdict

JASMIN DE VAUX and Romeo Coolio filled the first two positions in the Champion Bumper and the obvious assumption is that they could fight this out too, with the former fancied to uphold the positions. Several arrive with the potential to do better, notably the unbeaten William Munny and Shuttle Diplomacy.

  1. JASMIN DE VAUX (FR)
  2. ROMEO COOLIO
  3. WILLIAM MUNNY (IRE)
