Irish Champion still under consideration for Purview Dermot Weld is still mulling over a possible tilt at the Royal Bahrain Irish Champion Stakes with Purview next weekend. The Juddmonte-owned colt started this season with a promising effort when chasing home Delacroix in a Derby trial at Leopardstown. He was subsequently just denied in Group 3 company back at the same track in mid-July but could only finish fifth when sent to post favourite for a Listed prize in France last month. When asked if the son of Kingman could run in the Irish Champion Stakes Weld replied: "There is no decision yet, it is still under consideration "The ground was too firm for him in France the last day he ran, forget that run.” (Quotes by Michael Graham)
