Top class French-trained three-year-old Vadeni attempts to plunder yet another huge prize when he faces six rivals in Saturday's Group 1 Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.
The Coral-Eclipse Stakes winner is a red-hot 10-11 favourite with Betway to confirm Sandown form with Mishriff. John and Thaady Gosden's globetrotter is 4lb better off with Vadeni this time and would likely have won the Eclipse with a bit more luck in running.
It's a mouthwatering rematch and Aidan O'Brien, who has won the last three editions of this famous race, has strong claims with the highly-regarded Luxembourg.
