A day at the races which includes races of the quality of The Cesarewitch and The Dewhurst is always going to be a day of delights for a racing fan but we of course also have the small matter of the Champion Stakes to consider as well come Saturday afternoon.
Current 7-2 favourite and defending Champ Twice Over is reported to be in rude health ahead of the Newmarket race and will face ten rivals with Snow Fairy having been withdrawn to concentrate on a crack at the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup at Kyoto in November.
Vision D'Etat and Fuisse who are being sent over from France will prove tough nuts to crack and Godolphins Poet’s Voice will be popular with many following his Queen Elizabeth II Stakes win tackling the distance for the first time. Gitano Hernando is likely to offer stiff opposition back on English soil as well, whilst John Gosden is sending his Arlington Million winner Debussy. Aidan O’Brien will be represented by Leopardstown winner Await the Dawn.
