AINTREE | GRADE 2 STARS & HANDICAP BETS

13:15 | HANDICAP CHASE (2M)

Kadastral is a short-priced favourite to make a winning chasing debut from a mark of 125. Is he worth supporting at the odds, or could an experienced rival expose his inexperience?

13:45 | MOLYNEUX HURDLE (GRADE 2, 2M1F)

A fascinating early-season clash with potential Champion Hurdle implications.

Champion Hurdle fourth Alexi faces Supreme Novices' Hurdle third Mydaddypaddy and juvenile Grade 1 winner Mange Tout.

Which horse can establish himself as a serious championship contender?

14:25 | BOODLES RISING STARS NOVICES' CHASE (GRADE 2, 2M4F)

No Drama This End could be one of the most exciting novice chasers in training.

The Paul Nicholls runner faces former stablemate Talk To The Man in an informative early-season test.

Can No Drama This End make an immediate impression over fences?

15:00 | PERTEMPS NETWORK HANDICAP HURDLE (3M½F)

A competitive staying handicap in which the panel are particularly interested in Our Guide and French Ship.

French Ship won two handicaps last season from a mark 10lb lower than his current rating and was travelling strongly when falling three out in Grade 2 company.

Is there more improvement to come?

15:35 | HANDICAP CHASE (2M4F)

The panel identify two potentially attractive betting opportunities at 15/2 and 10/1 in the final Aintree race of our preview.

DONCASTER | NOVEMBER HANDICAP & FLAT SEASON FINALE

14:10 | WENTWORTH STAKES (LISTED, 6F)

Coul Angel steps up in class after impressing in handicaps, while former winner Montassib returns for another attempt at the prize.

But could Poatan be the value at 10/1?

The first-time cheekpieces and significant drop in class make him an intriguing alternative to the market leaders.

14:45 | IRISH EBF GILLIES FILLIES' STAKES (LISTED, 1M2F)

I'm The One was considered an Oaks contender earlier in the season before finishing behind subsequent St Leger third Amelia Earhart at Chester.

The Gosden-trained filly could improve on her second start after a break, particularly with the return to turf.

Is she ready to fulfil her early promise?

15:25 | NOVEMBER HANDICAP (1M4F)

NOBODY KNOWS | THE PANEL'S BEST BET?

The lightly raced Nobody Knows has caught the attention of three members of the panel, who consider him one of the strongest betting opportunities of the weekend.

We examine his form, handicap mark and potential for further improvement in the traditional Flat season finale.

THE WEEKEND'S BEST BETS

◆ 10/1 selection in the Wentworth Stakes
◆ 15/2 and 10/1 bets at Aintree
◆ Nobody Knows strongly fancied by three panellists
◆ Grade 2 analysis and horses to follow over jumps

Discover the panel's strongest selections, the favourites worth opposing and the potential value across both meetings.

We analyse the standout performances, tactical decisions, controversial rides and emerging stars, from Sovereignty's Breeders' Cup Classic victory to Aidan O'Brien's record-breaking achievements, and identify potential ante-post bets for the 2027 Breeders' Cup.

FUTURE STARS FRIDAY | EUROPEAN DOMINATION

LIBERTANGO | JUVENILE TURF SPRINT

George Boughey and Billy Loughnane capped a remarkable season as Libertango led home a European-trained 1-2-3-4-5-6-7.

Loughnane secured the ride just 40 minutes before the race. How significant was this result for European sprinting?

SUN GODDESS | JUVENILE FILLIES TURF

The outstanding juvenile of the championship?

Sun Goddess secured her fourth Group 1 victory, becoming the first two-year-old to achieve the feat since Johannesburg in 2001.

She led home another European 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, with two previous Group 1 winners and a Group 3 winner among the next three finishers.

We assess the strength of the form and her prospects for next season.

HAFFNER | JUVENILE TURF

Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore completed a Friday double as Haffner delivered a record-extending ninth Juvenile Turf victory for Ballydoyle.

An Irish and European 1-2-3 underlined the strength of the challenge.

EMPHATIC & HUGHES | THE JUVENILE DIRT RACES

Emphatic justified her name with victory in the Juvenile Fillies, holding off the fast-finishing Miss Monica.

Hughes gave Bob Baffert a record-extending seventh Breeders' Cup Juvenile victory.

What did we learn about America's leading two-year-olds?

CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY | NINE RACES, NINE WINNING TIPS

WAYS AND MEANS | FILLY & MARE SPRINT

A devastating performance to open Championship Saturday. We examine what made Ways And Means so impressive.

BACIO | TURF SPRINT

Is Bacio now a contender for the title of the world's fastest racehorse?

An explosive victory secured an American 1-2 on turf.

FURTHER ADO | DIRT MILE

Brad Cox's Further Ado prevailed in a thrilling finish, followed by an agonising wait for the photo-finish verdict.

FILLY & MARE TURF | AN AMERICAN UPSET

Chad Brown completed his second victory of the evening as American runners filled the first two places.

Short-priced contenders Blue Bolt and Precise disappointed. We examine what went wrong.

T O ELVIS | BREEDERS' CUP SPRINT

Japan struck with a brilliant performance from T O Elvis, whose devastating acceleration proved too much for odds-on favourite Englishman.

DETERMINISTIC | BREEDERS' CUP MILE

A superb ride from Kendrick Carmouche delivered a memorable victory for Miguel Clement, with Deterministic holding off the fast-finishing Notable Speech.

Charlie Freeman responds to the criticism of William Buick's ride. Was the favourite unlucky, or was Deterministic simply better positioned?

NITROGEN | BREEDERS' CUP DISTAFF

An emphatic victory from a filly who looked in a different league.

Could Nitrogen develop into a serious Breeders' Cup Classic contender in 2027?

BENVENUTO CELLINI | BREEDERS' CUP TURF

Another historic afternoon for Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore.

Benvenuto Cellini delivered O'Brien's record-extending eighth victory in the Turf and helped him equal his own record of 28 Group 1 victories in a calendar year.

By Frankel out of Breeders' Cup winner Newspaperofrecord, he remains in training at four.

Could he become one of the outstanding older horses of 2027?

SOVEREIGNTY | BREEDERS' CUP CLASSIC

A CLASSIC PERFORMANCE FOR THE AGES?

Sovereignty delivered Godolphin's first Breeders' Cup Classic victory, defeating defending champion Forever Young in the championship's biggest race.

Twenty-five years after Tiznow defeated Sakhee, the American champion remains the only horse to have won the Classic twice.

We examine Sovereignty's performance, debate where he ranks among the greatest dirt horses of recent years, and consider what comes next.

LOOKING AHEAD | BREEDERS' CUP 2027

Which Keeneland winners can dominate next season?

We assess the horses to follow, potential championship contenders and early ante-post betting opportunities for the 2027 Breeders' Cup.

18:55 | BREEDERS' CUP JUVENILE TURF SPRINT (GRADE 1, 5½F)

19:35 | BREEDERS' CUP JUVENILE FILLIES (GRADE 1, 1M½F)

What can the data tell us that the form book doesn't? Emmet Kennedy is joined by RaceiQ's lead analyst Laura Joy for a special edition of the Final Furlong Podcast, examining all seven races on QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot.

🔵 Presented by 1xBet Ireland. More than 7,000 events per day, fast withdrawals & new customer specials. Bet €10 and get €48 when you use Promo Code 1XEMMET20 👉 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/0r7bzDoH ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠18+. T&Cs apply. Gamble responsibly. Your game. Your odds. Your 1xBet.

Using stride length, cadence, acceleration, sectional times, finishing speed and draw bias, Laura examines the numbers behind the leading contenders, identifies potentially vulnerable favourites and explores where the betting value might lie.

12:55 | TWO-YEAR-OLD CONDITIONS STAKES

Can Night In Vegas continue his winning sequence, or do the speed figures favour Arapaho Gold? RaceiQ examines the juveniles' acceleration, finishing speed and the significance of their previous meetings.

13:30 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 1)

Progressive Ebor winner Daiquiri Bay steps into Group 1 company. But it's a horse who he beat in the Ebor that intrigues Laura with impressive sectionals suggest he could be a serious contender, but will the step up to two miles suit?

14:05 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES (GROUP 1)

Almeraq is the horse to beat, but does the data suggest he's vulnerable on quicker ground? Laura examines his acceleration and finishing-speed figures, while putting forward a fascinating alternative.

14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1)

Kalpana bids for a third consecutive victory, but could stall one, a stronger pace and her demanding Yorkshire Oaks performance leave her vulnerable? RaceiQ examines the potential draw disadvantage and whether Lilt could improve significantly over a mile and a half.

15:20 | QUEEN ELIZABETH II STAKES (GROUP 1)

Gstaad faces a fascinating tactical challenge against Talk Of New York, whose Joel Stakes victory produced exceptional speed figures.

16:00 | CHAMPION STAKES (GROUP 1)

Calandagan versus Ombudsman. A rematch between two outstanding middle-distance performers.

RaceiQ breaks down last year's Champion Stakes sectionals to reveal where Calandagan gained the decisive advantage, what Ombudsman must do differently and how Bay City Roller, Almaqam and Constitution River compare.

16:35 | BALMORAL HANDICAP

Could Gavriel be particularly well suited by dropping back to a mile?

His remarkable stride-frequency figures suggest there may be more improvement to come, while the draw and pace analysis could prove crucial in this competitive handicap.

Kalpana targets a remarkable third consecutive victory, with Lilt, Sparan Nua, Irish Oaks winner Johanna Walsh and Inis Mor among the challengers.
