Rising prospect Diego Velazquez tipped to make it two wins in as many starts in Saturday's Champion Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown

While the Irish Champion Stakes and Matron Stakes will dominate much of the headlines at Leopardstown this Saturday, there are two other group races which will generate plenty of interest among avid and casual racing fans alike.

One of those fixtures is the Group 2 Champion Juvenile Stakes, a one-mile affair open to two-year-olds.

Diego Velazquez was impressive in his debut last month at the Curragh, storming home to beat Joseph Murphy's Guildenstern by just shy of five lengths.

For those predicting the up-and-coming prospect to win in convincing fashion again on Saturday, Sky Bet are offering a 'Price Boost' for Diego Velazquez to reign supreme by two lengths or more and Atlantic Coast to finish second, with this selection boosted from 6/1 to 7/1.

The second and third-favourites to win the Champion Juvenile Stakes are Atlantic Coast and Deepone at 9/2 and 11/2 respectively.
