The Champion Stakes is the crown jewel of British Champions Day at Ascot as the curtain comes down on the 2023 Flat season.
A cracking cast of the year’s middle-distance stars are expected to take their place in the line up for the 1m2f Group 1, which is worth a tidy £737,230 to connections.
Last year’s renewal produced a huge shock as superstar Baaeed attempted to sign off his career with his unbeaten record intact but Bay Bridge stormed to victory.
