Smullen favourite for seventh Championship Pat Smullen has been installed the 6/5 favourite to become Champion Jockey in Ireland for the seventh time. Smullen, who first won the title in 2000, is the clear market leader with Stan James Bookmaker with Johnny Murtagh next best at 15/8. Fran Berry, who is without the backing of the Aga Khan's horses this term, is third favourite at 11/2 while it is 25/1 (including Colm O'Donoghue who looks likely to figure more prominently at Ballydoyle this season) bar the trio.
