A STUNNING cast of superstar horses including Harry Angel is due to line up for the seventh QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot this Saturday after the five-day entries were unveiled on Monday.

Britain’s richest raceday has an unrivalled card in excess of £4.3 million in prize money and includes four Group 1s, a Group 2 and the richest mile handicap in Europe.

A staggering 26 horses racing on the day have won at least once at the highest level.

In addition, there is the tantalising prospect of champion trainer Aidan O’Brien equalling or even surpassing,the world record 25 Group 1 triumphs that Bobby Frankel achieved in 2003.

The Ballydoyle maestro has already secured 24 winners at Group/Grade 1 level this year and is set to send a dazzling squad including dual Classic winner Churchill, crack sprinter Caravaggio, globetrotter Highland Reel and Order of St George.

Sir Michael Stoute has supplemented Her Majesty the Queen’s horse, Dartmouth, for the Long Distance Cup, whilst Ulysses stands his ground in a mouth-watering QIPCO Champion Stakes.

Two-time champion trainer John Gosden, seeking a third success on QIPCO British Champions Day after previous wins with Flying Officer and Journey, said: “It’s a fantastic event, a great grand finale for us.

“Frankel got it off to a flying start [in 2011] and it’s done nothing but grow in strength and importance.”

All eyes will also be on the Clive Cox-trained Harry Angel – officially the highest-rated sprinter in the world at present.

The three-year-old, who is owned by Godolphin, will be the star attraction for the Champions Sprint Stakes.

He heads a field of 14 speedsters, four of whom – Caravaggio, The Tin Man (winner of the Sprint last year), Quiet Reflection and Brando – have won at least one Group 1 race.

Harry Angel was a superb winner of the Darley July Cup and 32Red Sprint Cup, and West Berkshire trainer Cox said: “We were thrilled with his performance at Haydock. He’s come back absolutely fine and the time scale between then and Champions Day is perfect.

“We’ve had a chance to see if he’s in good order and keep him in good order. He’s in a good frame of mind and we are very happy with him.

“We’ve got no concerns from a going point of view, which is great. I know a lot of people say a good horse will go on any ground, but finding that one is pretty difficult in my mind. We are very lucky.”

Gates open at Ascot at 10.30am with the first race at 1.25pm.
