Overseas Expert Column by Bill Esdaile With over 140 years of history and winners on the list from to BRIGADIER GERARD, the G1 1,993m Champion Stakes, is the jewel in the crown of British Champions Day. Last year, MAGICAL became the first filly to claim the prize in 13 years and trainer Aidan O’Brien will have high hopes of her delivering back-to-back wins. The daughter of has been rock-solid this term, winning three of the four races she’s contested and all at G1 level over 2,000m – 2,051m. Her only defeat was a monstrous front-running performance by , while she turned the tables with ’s star performer in the G1 2,000m last time out. She arrives here in top form, is a previous winner of the race and her chances are plain for all to see. O’Brien’s hand is strengthened further by the presence of JAPAN and SERPENTINE, though both have been inconsistent this season. JAPAN is a dual G1 winner but he’s not been at his best lately and remains a risky proposition, while SERPENTINE is yet to back up his Derby win. As for MAGICAL’s biggest dangers, MISHRIFF, ridden by Frankie Dettori, is a 3YO with a very bright future. He was successful on his only start at the highest level, winning the G1 over 2,100m, and then made light work of his field in the G2 2,000m Prix Guillaume d'Ornano. Though he hit the front early that day with others travelling smoothly in-behind, the challengers couldn’t close the gap and he crossed the line four lengths clear. Ascot’s testing home straight should suit, and he won’t go down without a fight. Given his performance over track and trip in the G1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot back in June, it’s hard to discount LORD NORTH. He swooped past the field in great style that day and was marked down as a highly progressive individual. However, he’s only run once since, finishing third in the G1 over 2,051m, though it is interesting that trainer John Gosden has kept him fresh for this. PYLEDRIVER has been a revelation this season. Purchased for just a few thousand pounds and stabled with lesser-known trainer William Muir, the son of HARBOUR WATCH is now a dual G2 winner and Classic-placed colt. While he’s a very tough and consistent individual, it feels as though connections might be rolling the dice a little given the step back to 1,993m and the high-class opposition, so others are preferred. ADDEYBB and SKALLETI may be the ones left battling it out for minor honours. The former plundered two G1 contests over 2,000m in Australia during the spring, before returning to the UK to finish second in the aforementioned G1 Prince of Wales’s Stakes over 1,993m. After three months off the track he returned with a win in the Listed Doonside Cup Stakes over 2,000m at Ayr and that will have prepared him nicely for this, but he still needs a career best to challenge. French raider SKALLETI will, like ADDEYBB, handle the likely soft conditions and must be a place consideration based on his win last time out in the G2 over 1,950m. SELECTIONS: 8. MAGICAL, 9. MISHRIFF, 5. LORD NORTH, 1. ADDEYBB & 7. SKALLETI
