A 2 year-old conditions race is a new addition to the seven-race card next – giving racing fans a chance to see some stars of the future, which could be hot Godolphin favourite Words Of Truth.<\/p>\n

The sprinters take to the Ascot stage next in a race that the last two winners -Art Power and Kind Of Blue – are back for more.<\/p>\n

Then another past British Champions Day winner<\/a> Kalpana will be hoping to land the Fillies & Mares Stakes at the middle race on the card – but will need to bounce back, having not win since landing this 12 months ago.<\/p>\n

The QEII Stakes is another intriguing affair with Irish 2000 Guineas winner Field Of Gold back in action – he takes on the classy but frustrating Rosallion and the resurgent Fallen Angel.<\/p>\n

12:55 \u2013 Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup (Group 1) Cl1 (3yo+) 2m ITV<\/h3>\n

Stay True looks a promising ‘cup horse’ for the future and put in some nice time figures in the St Leger and Great Voltigeur – but we’ve only had one 3 year-old winner of this since 2009 and none since the meeting was moved to Ascot in 2011.<\/p>\n

The consistent Sweet William is a likable horse and was runner-up in 2024, when Trawlerman was third – but the overall H2H record between the pair stands at 4-1 to the Godolphin horse.<\/p>\n

Last year Trawlerman also came here off a four month break, but this season connections have kept him ticking over – running the Gold Cup winner in the Lonsdale Cup, where he had Sweet William back in second.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it’s hard to see past TRAWLERMAN,<\/strong> who won this in 2023, and will be looking become the first horse to win back this race since Persian Punch.<\/p>\n
