Moore to ride Gatsby in Champion

Ryan Moore is set to be reunited with The Grey Gatsby in the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The former champion guided Kevin Ryan’s stable star to what at the time was a surprise success in the Dante Stakes at York and was on board again when the Mastercraftsman colt showed that to be no fluke in the French Derby.

He was required for Telescope in the Juddmonte International, with Richard Hughes stepping in as Ryan’s charge found only dual Derby hero Australia too good on the Knavesmire last month.
