So You Think on course for Champion

SO YOU THINK is set to go off the red-hot favourite for the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday after just six runners stood their ground at the confirmation stage.

The giant Australian import was a multiple winner at the highest level Down Under, but after landing the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on his debut for Aidan O’Brien, he was beaten at Royal Ascot, going down narrowly to the ill-fated Rewilding.

However, So You Think got back on track with a superb performance in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, and is a 1-3 chance with Paddy Power to follow up.
