Chance - bright bumper prospect.

By

Mendo has been given a 16-1 quote for next month's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival by Coral.

Noel Chance's five-year-old was making his debut at Sandown Park and it proved to be extremely impressive.

He tracked hat-trick seeking There Is No Doubt into the straight and when Tom Doyle pushed the button with just under two furlongs to run and his partner quickened clear to score well by six lengths from Dunsfold Duke.
