    Hope it comes off for you but **** that, awful odds considering Southampton are playing Leicester who are very good, Arsenal are away to Watford who have a solid defense and are a tough team to break down, Chelsea are in **** form albeit it is A.Villa, and City are without Aguero, Silva and possibly KDB and Bournemouth aint no mugs.

    I'd want at least 8/1 - 9/1

    The fifth year of the running joke that is British Champions Day sees virtually none of the potential champions lining up with a lot of money on offer. Would Golden Horn be running today on “Good to Soft (Soft in places)” if he had skipped the Arc?

    With nearly £200k for the winner, the opening Long Distance Cup sees last year’s victor Forgotten Rules return after finishing a remote fifth in the Irish St Leger last time, where Agent Murphy was a less remote second. Willie Mullins runs three, with Irish St Leger third Wicklow Brave the choice of Ryan Moore whilst William Buick is on Prix Du Cadran well beaten seventh Simenon and Vincent Cheminaud on Prix Du Cadran last Clondaw Warrior. Litigant last raced when beating Wicklow Brave in the Ebor handicap but is lightly-raced and could have enough improvement to contend. Pallasator comes here following victory in the Doncaster Cup (Clondaw Warrior second) whilst Clever Cookie has not been seen since he was well beaten favourite for the Lonsdale Stakes at York, so it may be best to side with the lightly-raced FLYING OFFICER seeking a hat-trick.

    The Champion Sprint should see the appearance of – and hopefully victory of – the Champion sprinter as the three principal contenders are in the line-up. A couple of disappointing performances make it look like Gordon Lord Byron has little chance of repeating last year’s win. The Tin Man will be worth seeing for the 2016 notebook. Adaay was a big letdown at Haydock when favourite, leaving the unbeaten Twilight Son to hold off Strath Burn to collect the Group 1 prize. I expect both of those latter two to be involved in the finish but the top-rated horse is Prix Maurice de Gheest winner Muhaarar, who should be too good for them. He is too short to back, however.

    In the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, will Gleneagles actually start? The last time he visited these shores he was paraded in the York pre-parade ring before heading back to Ballydoyle without racing. Kodi Bear was a facile winner of the Celebration Mile, beating Gabrial by further than Elm Park did, but steps up in class here. On form lines through Esoterique, the mare Integral should account for Guineas runner-up Territories; however, expectation is that they will all be playing second fiddle to easy Sussex Stakes winner Solow as he takes the £623k prize to France. So the British Champion will be a French grey.

    The Champion Stakes is a Group 1 race in name only, with most of the field not being Group 1 performers. Vadamos and Fascinating Rock were both easy winners last time in lower grade events over different trips, whilst Air Pilot, Tullius and Sumbal were all beaten in lesser events. Farhh’s brother Racing History takes a big step up in class from a Windsor Group 3 race but clearly has not been added to this just for fun. Ribbons missed the Prix de l’Opera in favour of this but her win at The Curragh was against Group 2 opposition. Found has been messed around all season since starting with defeat on heavy ground in Ireland the day after she ducked the 1000 Guineas, so this does look like it is there for Jack Hobbs to justify the skinny odds, no excuses.

    Although I would be delighted if Wales won today, with all our injury problems I can't see it happening!
    The 4 Fav's (South A, New Z, Ireland & Australia) to win the 1/4 finals looks a good bet @7/4?
    Looking forward to a great days sport <cheers>

    Smullen, who owes me nothing, rose a shocker for me. Should of bide his time or went left and not right. All good with hindsight mind from someone who has never rode!
