Racing tips for Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 13:33 · Archive

Racing correspondents give tips for Saturday's Champions Day at Ascot, which features five Group 1 races.

Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday is Britain's richest single raceday, featuring five Group 1 contests. The card draws racing's top horses and trainers from across Britain and Europe.

The Independent's racing correspondent Jonathan Doidge recommends Caballo De Mar in the opening Group 1 race at 13.30, having recovered from heat stress that caused him to finish last in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. He has since won the Group 2 Doncaster Cup and the Group 1 Prix du Cadran at Longchamp, described as a career best.

The Mirror's Steve Jones identifies value in the Fillies & Mares Stakes, backing Inis Mor at 22-1, who finished second in Newmarket's Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes three weeks ago. He also tips Daiquiri Bay, an Ebor winner, at 10-1 in the Long Distance Cup, suggesting the step up to two miles may suit him, and Prince of India at an unspecified price in the Sprint, noting he was only narrowly beaten in recent Group 3 company.
