Adayar cut for Ascot and Longchamp after he cruises home on return

Charlie Appleby's Derby and King George winner from last year hadn't been seen in a race since last season's Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot. He won by three and three quarters lengths. Appley and Buick will discuss going to the Champion or Arc Stages in the next few weeks. Paddy Power went 8/1 from 14s about Adayar for the champion's race and 16/20 for Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Big-race preview & tip: QIPCO Champion Stakes

MOSTAHDAF didn't look a likely runner when around 7/1 in midweek but confirmation of Ascot's track switch to the inner hurdles course for the Champion Stakes, Fillies & Mares and Long Distance Cup changes things considerably. He'll presumably only line up if the ground is deemed suitable on raceday itself but there's no doubt Mostahdaf should be…

Annaf's class came to the fore as he carried top-weight to a game victory in the Betfred Portland Handicap. Mick Appleby's four-year-old has been a regular in Group-race company this season and made the podium at Royal Ascot when third in the King's Stand Stakes. However, the 7-1 shot was remarkably still a maiden on turf prior to making his 23rd…

Cork Saturday review: Tenebrism makes winning return

Tenebrism made her class count with victory on her return to action at Cork. Aidan O'Brien's filly is a dual Group One winner, but remarkably returned at a very generous 11-10 favourite in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cork Stakes over six furlongs.

Having missed most of the season, the son of Frankel made light work of a belated return to the track in a Doncaster conditions race during the St Leger Festival, but the real test of whether he retained all of his ability came in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, where the four-year-old faced the mammoth task of taking on Baaeed.
