  Aidan O'Brien's multiple Group One winner St Mark's Basilica is on course to recover from a small setback and return to action in time for the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown on September 11. The three-year-old has won his last four races - all at Group One level - beginning in the Dewhurst last season. This term he has landed the French Guineas, French Derby and the Coral-Eclipse, beating Addeybb and Mishriff - but he was forced to miss the Juddmonte International after a cut on his hind leg caused by a lost shoe became infected.                     Andrew Nelis racing 

Alpine Star may bid to cap her fine season in next month’s Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. Jessica Harrington’s Group One-winning filly was outgunned only by the unbeaten Palace Pier in her first foray into open-age company against the colts in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville this month. She was previously a Royal Ascot winner in the Coronation Stakes and then narrowly failed to peg back Fancy Blue in the Prix de Diane over 10 and a half furlongs at Chantilly. Her owners the Niarchos family are yet to decide whether another of their three-year-old stars Highest Ground will be out again this season, or wait until next summer. But racing manager Alan Cooper confirmed they have a much more definite plan for Alpine Star.. “At the moment, Mrs Harrington is leaning towards the Irish Champion Stakes,” he said.                        Andrew Nelis Racing 

Delphi initiated a big-race double for Aidan O'Brien and Seamie Heffernan when making it four from four for the season with a determined display in the Comer Group International Irish St Leger Trial at the Curragh. Down the field on his only juvenile start at Tipperary, the Galileo colt made a winning return in first-time blinkers at the Curragh in June and has not looked back - following up in a Navan handicap before dominating from the front in the Nijinsky Stakes at Leopardstown..                        Andrew Nelis racing
