BRITISH Champions Day from Ascot is always a great spectacle and the seven races on this year’s card look stacked with quality.

All eyes will be on the third meeting this season of Ombudsman and Delacroix in the Champions Stakes (4.05pm).

The score stands at one-a-piece after their meetings in the Eclipse and Juddmonte International, and it could go either way once again.

If forced, I’d side with Delacroix to reverse York form, but it’s a clash I’d rather watch and savour than have a bet on.

The preceding Queen Elizabeth II Stakes (3.25pm) is another fascinating contest especially with the return of Field Of Gold following his disappointing run in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
