Magical is set to head Aidan O’Brien’s team in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday week.

Successful 12 months ago, the multiple Group 1-winning mare chased home Ghaiyyath in the Juddmonte International at York last month, and O’Brien would be pleased for the profile of the race if the two could have a rematch on the opening day of Longines Irish Champions Weekend.
