Glory looks to bounce back at Newmarket
Racing: Fame And Glory heads a field of 14 for the Group 1 Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday. Aidan O'Brien's Irish Derby winner bids to bounce back from a below-par performance in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe last time out and backs down in trip to 10 furlongs.
Heading the opposition are Michael Bell's dual-Oaks winning filly Sariska, who will be partnered by Kieren Fallon, and Marcus Tregoning's recent Cumberland Lodge winner Mawatheeq.
Prince Of Wales's Stakes third Never On Sunday will be ridden by Christophe Lemaire for Jean-Claude Rouget, while Twice Over runs for Henry Cecil.
Cheveley Park Stud are represented by the John Gosden-trained pair Virtual and Pipedreamer and Campanologist runs for Godolphin.
City Leader runs in first-time blinkers for Brian Meehan and the field is completed by Doctor Fremantle, Forgotten Voice, Alpine Rose, Barshiba and Ballydoyle pacemaker Set Sail.
Balius, Crystal Capella and Grand Ducal were the three to be taken out at the final declaration stage.
