Vadeni can confirm Eclipse form with Mishriff when they renew rivalry in the Group 1 Champion Stakes, the feature on this afternoon’s Longines Irish Champions Weekend offering from Leopardstown.
Trained by Jean-Claude Rouget, who won the 2016 renewal with Almanzor, he was most impressive winning the French Derby and then took on the older horses in the Eclipse at Sandown and came out on top despite the race not being run to suit.
