Irish Champion Chase weather watch for fans of Golden Horn and Gleneagles

Supporters of Golden Horn and Gleneagles face an anxious wait to see whether the Classic heroes will lock horns in Saturday’s Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.

John Gosden’s Derby and Eclipse winner Golden Horn is set to line up alongside Aidan O’Brien’s dual 2000 Guineas scorer Gleneagles in what is being billed as the race of the season at the Dublin circuit this weekend, but an unpredictable weather forecast has left both camps in limbo.
