John Oxx will start Ebanoran off on a Classic campaign next year after the colt made a winning racecourse debut at the Curragh's final meeting of the season.

The much-admired Oxx will have significantly fewer of the Aga Khan's horses to train next season after the owner-breeder decided on a shake-up of his portfolio, but he has unleashed a couple of the Aga's other nice prospects this month in Ebasani and Marakoush.

Champions Day poser for Hannon.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed

Quote:

Sky Lantern and Toronado are unlikely to run on Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday if the ground is soft, which would leave Olympic Glory as Richard Hannon's only runner in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes.

All three horses hold entries in the Group One over a mile, while Sky Lantern has an alternative engagement in the Qipco Champion Stakes.

While Olympic Glory is a certain runner, Toronado could be rerouted to the Breeders' Cup - with Sky Lantern also in the frame for a trip to Hong Kong

Stoute banks on Hill to star

Quote:

Sir Michael Stoute believes Hillstar's fondness for soft ground could stand him in good stead in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.

The Royal Ascot-winning colt broke his maiden in a Leicester bog last October and has since gone on to finish third in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes in July

Moore hoping for bold Estimate show.

Quote:

Ryan Moore expects Estimate to put up a bold show in the Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot on Saturday, as long as she can cope with the likely soft ground.

The three-times champion jockey has partnered The Queen's filly to all her three victories at the Berkshire track, including the Gold Cup at the Royal meeting this summer.

Pease keen on Maxios claims.

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu

Quote:

Trainer Jonathan Pease believes Maxios has plenty going for him as he aims to become the first French-trained winner of Saturday's Queen Elizabeth II Stakes in 20 years.

The five-year-old has always been a talented individual, but has taken his game to another level this season in winning three of his five starts and claiming Group One victories in the Prix d'Ispahan and the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp.

Estimate has already orchestrated the most popular moment of the 2013 Flat season and her jockey Ryan Moore is readying himself for the filly's comeback at Ascot this weekend.

A first Gold Cup victory for The Queen prompted scenes of joy across the vast Berkshire course, even within the Royal Box itself as Her Majesty became as elated as anyone could remember. It was an achievement of which Moore, who taken many of the world's best races in his stride,

Buck's on comeback trail.

Big Buck's could be back in action in the New Year as he continues to make progress from the leg injury that saw him miss the second half of last season.

The champion staying hurdler has been sidelined since taking his winning run to 18 when landing the Long Distance Hurdle for the fourth year running at Newbury last December.

Bolger eager for Dawn return.

Jim Bolger is confident Dawn Approach can return to his best form in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Saturday.

The three-year-old showed himself to be one of the best milers in Europe with victory in the 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace Stakes, but he has been beaten in his last two starts.

Just touched off by Toronado in the Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, the Godolphin-owned colt was not himself when running below par in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville in August.

Farhh bids to show Champion quality

http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri

Quote:

Godolphin's talented but fragile Farhh appears to most obvious threat to Cirrus Des Aigles in Saturday's Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot.

After kicking off last season with victory in the Thirsk Hunt Cup, the five-year-old was placed in the Prince of Wales's Stakes and the Coral-Eclipse before beating all bar Frankel in the Sussex Stakes and the Juddmonte International.

He was beaten just a head by Moonlight Cloud on his final start of 2012 in the Prix du Moulin, so was hardly winning out of turn when making a brilliant seasonal reappearance in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury in May

Cirrus primed for Champion test

Corine Barande-Barbe is confident Cirrus Des Aigles has finally reached his peak for the campaign as he looks to regain his crown in the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot.

The seven-year-old beat the likes of So You Think and Snow Fairy to the prestigious prize in 2011, and he pushed the brilliant Frankel closer than most horses managed 12 months ago.
