2.10 Ascot: All eyes will be on the prolific cup horse – STRADIVARIUS – here as he bids to win the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup for the second year in-a-row. Just like last season, he’s mopped-up all the main cup races and in the process scooped another £1m bonus. He’ll also be bidding for career win number fifteen here and his eleventh on the spin. With Frankie Dettori ridding, it will be a huge shock if he’s not ending the season on another high.

4.00 Ascot: The Qipco Champion Stakes has gone to the John Gosden yard for the last two years and they’ve every chance of making it three. They run the classy CORONET here, who was runner-up in the filly and mares’ race on this card twelve months ago. She’s lightly-raced this season, with just three runs, but heads here in tip-top form after two Group One victories in France. Soft ground is ideal, she’s a proven course winner and also stays further should it get into a slog.

4.15 Ffos Las: The Paul Nicholls yard have won the Welsh Champion Hurdle twice since 2014, so their LE PREZIEN makes plenty of appeal here. Rated in the 150’s over fences, so his mark of 149 over hurdles makes him very interesting. Soft ground is fine for him and he ran well at the track last year over fences. The experienced Barry Geraghty is an added bonus in the saddle.

4:30 Catterick: The Tim Easterby camp have targeted this race with success in recent years and have also had winners this midweek. They run PARYS MOUNTAIN here, who is a proven course and distance winner at the track – his recent runs here read 3-1-2. Draw five is a plus too, while did well at this time of the year last season.
