The Champion Stakes is the crown jewel of British Champions Day at Ascot as the curtain comes down on the 2023 Flat season.
A cracking cast of the year’s middle-distance stars are expected to take their place in the line up for the 1m2f Group 1, which is worth a tidy £737,230 to connections.
Last year’s renewal produced a huge shock as superstar Baaeed attempted to sign off his career with his unbeaten record intact but Bay Bridge stormed to victory. Sir Michael Stoute’s stable star is back to defend his crown in 2023.
You can run the rule over our Champion Stakes odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
