O’Brien confident ahead of rematch

AIDAN O’BRIEN does not believe a drop in trip will inconvenience Fame And Glory as he prepares to lock horns with Sea The Stars for a second time in the Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes on Saturday.

The Montjeu colt had to make do with the runner-up spot as Sea The Stars took the glory in the Derby at Epsom but enjoyed his day in the sun when running out an impressive winner of the Irish equivalent.

Providing ground conditions are suitable, the rematch is set to take place at Leopardstown this weekend and O’Brien is looking forward to the challenge.
