Champions Day kicks off with the Fillies & Mares Stakes in Berkshire. Long Distance Cup and Class 2 Balmoral handicap are the last two events.

Long Distance Cup (Group 2) takes place on 1.25. Trueshan is the favourite, but Waterville is only marginally ahead. Eldar Eldarov is coming into this race on the back of a Group 1 victory beating Haskoy by two lengths in the St Leger last month.
