Today's tips: Clouds gather over Stakes showdown at Leopardstown

Golden Horn and Gleneagles head a star field of eight horses declared for the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown tomorrow, a race that will have an earlier start time due to weather concerns.

The Classic-winning pair were set to meet in the Juddmonte International at York last month, but Gleneagles was a late withdrawal due to the ground, while Golden Horn suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Arabian Queen.

The much-awaited showdown between John Gosden’s Derby and Eclipse winner Golden Horn and the Aidan O’Brien-trained dual 2000 Guineas scorer Gleneagles is on again, but connections of the latter are concerned about the ground turning soft.
