The biggest two-year-old race for years sees Henry Cecil's Royal Lodge winner Frankel take on two other unbeaten colts, Godolphin's Saamidd and dual Group One winner Dream Ahead.

Dream Ahead's form stands him out despite all the talk of Frankel's awesome workouts, and Saamidd's nickname of Pegasus, and it could be David Simcock's runner who is seen to be the best.

While the Champion Stakes looks set to be a mouthwatering clash between Twice Over, Poet's Voice and Vision D'Etat, the best bet of the day could come in the Pride Stakes thanks to Crystal Capella.

Sir Michael Stoute's mare hasn't been seen since going down by a short-head in this last year, but Ryan Moore keeps the faith ahead of stablemate Eleanora Duse.

A HAT-TRICK at Redcar extended Paul Hanagan's lead over arch-rival Richard Hughes to nine in the jockeys' title race.

Malton-based Hanagan has now ridden a career-best 175 victories this season following yesterday's potentially decisive move. The contest ends at Doncaster on November 6.
