Colin Keane can end a week in which he lost the plum ride on Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe favourite Tarnawa by steering the unbeaten Sacred Bridge to victory in the Group 1 Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket today.

Ireland’s champion Flat jockey has enjoyed another stellar campaign but he suffered a rare setback when it was confirmed that Christophe Soumillon would replace him on the brilliant mare in Europe’s premier all-aged race tomorrow week.
