Gordon Elliott set to run one in Unibet Champion Hurdle

In the absence of Constitution Hill there has been plenty of speculation over which trainers may now roll the dice in the day one highlight. Elliott currently has four entries in the race with Irish Point, Fils D'Oudairies, Pied Piper and Zanahiyr. The former is second favourite behind State Man and likely to drop back to the minimum trip despite…

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…

The sir Michael Stoute-trained son of Kingman, last seen finishing third to subsequent QIPCO 2000 Guineas winner Chaldean in the 2022 Dewhurst, really lit up day one of the July Festival with a stylish all-the-way win under jockey Ryan Moore.

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.

Timeform's David Cleary's fast analysis of the Champion Stakes

It's fair to say the Qipco Champion Stakes didn't go to script. Baaeed, head and shoulders above his rivals on form and looking to bow out with his unbeaten record intact, sent off at 4/1-on, could manage only fourth placing, just seeming to run flat. In a tactical race, the turn of foot Baaeed had shown through his career was lacking when he was…
