Frankel made it 14 wins from 14 starts with victory over Cirrus Des Aigles in the QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot.

The race didn't go exactly to plan for Sir Henry Cecil's superstar, as he missed the break and his pacemaker Bullet Train struggled to get the lead, however the final manner of his success oozed class.

Tom Queally brought him through on the outside of runners to challenge French raider Cirrus Des Aigles for the lead with a furlong to run, and although the winning margin wasn't as spectacular as in the past, there was clear daylight at the line.
Even in going which he disliked he still won like a champion.
