Roaring Lion (8/11), Saxon Warrior (5/2), Study Of Man (8/1), Rhododendron (14/1), Addeybb (16/1), Verbal Dexterity (25/1), Deauville (40/1), Athena (40/1)
A strong renewal of the Irish Champion Stakes and it's hard to look past ROARING LION in his bid for a third straight Group 1 success. The colt gives the impression he's still improving and with conditions in his favour (provided there's no rain), he's expected to be hard to beat. Study Of Man is a fascinating French raider who had excuses when only third in a Group 2 last time. Belmont Oaks winner, Athena may represent some each-way value and first time headgear could eke out some improvement.
