Australia set to take on six rivals

Australia faces six rivals as he goes for his fourth successive Group One win of the season in the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The English and Irish Derby scorer took the step back to this trip of a mile and a quarter in his stride when winning the Juddmonte International Stakes at York last month despite connections saying the colt was not fully wound up.

Aidan O'Brien's top-class three-year-old will be taken on again by The Grey Gatsby, who chased him home two lengths down in second place on the Knavesmire.

The Prix du Jockey Club winner was added to the Irish Champion field at the supplementary stage by his trainer Kevin Ryan.

Kingfisher has done sterling work as pacemaker for stablemate Australia in his last three races and gets the key role again.

Al Kazeem, runner-up to The Fugue 12 months ago when sent off odds-on favourite, bids to go one better after returning to the track following a failed stud career.

The Roger Charlton-trained six-year-old broke the track record when winning the Group Three Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor on his second run back.

The William Haggas-trained Mukhadram could only finish fourth behind Australia at York but had earlier defeated Trading Leather in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown.

Trading Leather, trained by Jim Bolger, was third in this race last year. Dermot Weld's Alkasser completes the seven-strong line-up.
