Corine B arande-Barbe’s decorated nine-year-old is close to a return from injury, with the Group One Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on September 12 identified as a comeback date.

Should all go to plan, Cirrus Des Aigles will then gear up for the Champion Stakes at Ascot on October 17 – a race he has contested for the last four seasons, winning once in 2011.
