Al Kazeem is reportedly in prime condition ahead of the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The six-year-old faces his biggest test in the mile-and-a-quarter Group One since he resumed his racing career following a failed time at stud.

Al Kazeem won the second of his comeback starts at Windsor last month and will now bid to go one better in the Irish Champion than he did 12 months ago, when he was surprisingly beaten by The Fugue.

Charlton could not be happier with his stable star and is looking forward to have another try at that race.

The English trainer tweeted: "Al Kazeem is pleasing me and returns to Group One company in the Irish Champion Stakes on Saturday."
