Two Group 1 victories in France, a runner-up in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and now three runners heading to Ascot for QIPCO British Champions Day.
Emmet Kennedy is joined by trainer George Scott to reflect on an extraordinary few weeks and preview his leading contenders for one of the biggest days in British Flat racing.
BAY CITY ROLLER | CHAMPION STAKES
After his outstanding second in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Bay City Roller returns to Ascot for the Champion Stakes.
George discusses his Arc performance, the drop back to ten furlongs, ground conditions and the ambitious possibility of tackling the Breeders' Cup just two weeks later. Can the 9/2 contender deliver a first Champion Stakes victory for the stable?
CABALLO DE MAR | LONG DISTANCE CUP
Fresh from defending his Prix du Cadran crown at Longchamp, Caballo De Mar bids for another major staying prize in the Long Distance Cup.
George reflects on the emotional Group 1 victory, reversing form with Scandinavia and the remarkable recovery that has put his stable star back in contention at Ascot. Can the 2/1 favourite strike again just two weeks after his French triumph?
WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE | INTERNATIONAL AMBITIONS
Following his impressive Prix Dollar victory, Wimbledon Hawkeye could be heading for the Bahrain International Trophy, with Hong Kong and Dubai also potential targets. George explains the improvement he's seen since the horse joined his yard and why an international campaign could bring out the very best in him.
POATAN | CHAMPIONS SPRINT
At 66/1, Poatan faces a formidable challenge in the British Champions Sprint Stakes. George explains why he's taking his chance at Group 1 level and what would represent a successful afternoon.
THE RISE OF GEORGE SCOTT: From major victories at Longchamp to competing at the highest level across multiple distances, George reflects on what this remarkable run means for his career, his team and the future of his stable.
Plus, with Bay City Roller and Caballo De Mar both holding major chances at Ascot, which horse would George choose if guaranteed just one winner?
