Channon mulls Leger plans

MICK CHANNON has not ruled out the possibility of running both Youmzain and Championship Point in next month’s Ladbrokes St Leger.

Channon won Tuesday’s Great Voltigeur Stakes at York with Youmzain, while Championship Point weakened to finish in the ruck. Both horses were among the 21 left in the final Classic at the forfeit stage and after consulting owner Jaber Abdullah, Channon will wait a few days before giving Youmzain the green light to run in the Leger.

Channon said: “I’m mystified about Championship Point but he’s come out of it fine and there seems to be nothing wrong with him. Youmzain is also fresh and has taken his race well but we’ll wait another week before making a decision whether he runs.
