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

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

QEII glory for Olympic

Olympic Glory routed the opposition to win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

Richard Hannon's three-year-old burst through a narrow gap between Top Notch Tonto and Kingsbarns a furlong out and the race was over as a contest.

The supplemented Top Notch Tonto ran an unbelievable race to finish second, but Richard Hughes was able to coast home aboard the blinkered Olympic Glory (11-2) to win by three and a quarter lengths. Kingsbarns finished third.

There was a strong pace set with two pacemakers in the field, but Top Notch Tonto loomed up two furlongs out and looked to be going best of all. That was until Hughes brought Olympic Glory to the head of affairs and sealed the deal within a matter of strides.

The Grade Two contest, better known as the West Yorkshire Hurdle, was won 12 months ago by Tidal Bay and Paul Nicholls' enigmatic 12-year-old is due to defend his crown.

Last year's leading staying novice hurdler At Fishers Cross is also due to begin his campaign in the race.

David Pipe's seven-year-old was a leading staying hurdler a couple of seasons ago and shone as a novice chaser last term, winning four of his five starts over fences.

The Charlie Hall Chase was discussed as a potential option for the exciting grey, but Pipe has decided to revert to the smaller obstacles for his first start of the campaign, in the race registered as the West Yorkshire Hurdle.
