Alan King's Trueshan has won the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup for the last two years under Hollie Doyle - but there were worrying signs in his defeat at Doncaster and the decision to run on ground faster than he is used to at Goodwood may come back to haunt connections.
14:00 (Ascot) Kinross (e/w)
14:40 (Ascot) Mimikyu
He came in for that with Frankie Dettori suspended but this time the Italian has chosen Emily Upjohn in the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes - and may have got it wrong.
15:20 (Ascot) Jadoomi (e/w)
16:00 (Ascot) Baaeed
