Oratorio Ready For Champion Run

Oratorio is on course to run in the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.

The three-year-old will be trying to make it a big-race hat-trick after landing the Coral-Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes on his last two starts.

Aidan O´Brien´s charge beat Vodafone Derby winner and subsequent Prix de l´Arc de Triomphe fifth Motivator on both those occasions and he also finished second in the Irish 2000 Guineas in May.

The Ballydoyle handler is now hoping the son of Danehill can add another Group One to his tally in the 10-furlong event at Headquarters.

'The plan is to run him in the Champion Stakes,' said O´Brien. 'Everything is going according to plan with him at the moment.'
