Race preview
This year's Champagne Stakes is all about ROSALLION, who hasn't put a foot wrong in his two starts to date and this looks a good opportunity to continue his winning thread. Richard Hannon's colt was very impressive when making mincemeat of a Listed field at Ascot and is expected to continue his ascent towards the top. Iberian might pose him the most questions after a good second in the Vintage Stakes. Mountain Bear was just behind Charlie Hills' youngster at Glorious Goodwood and heads the remainder.
