THINK HEADS QUALITY CHAMPION FIELD

So You Think leads a three-pronged Ballydoyle entry in Saturday's QIPCO Champion Stakes at Ascot.

Aidan O'Brien's Antipodean import was last seen running on into fourth in the Arc, and could be joined by potential pacemaker Windsor Palace and Hardwicke Stakes winner Await The Dawn.

The last-named was beaten into third by Twice Over in the Juddmonte International at York, and Sir Henry Cecil's star is on target to lock horns once again.

The well-fancied Nathaniel, winner of the King George at Ascot, is set to represent John Gosden, whilst other leading three-year-old's engaged include the Godolphin duo Casamento and Dubai Prince, along with the French-trained Reliable Man and Jim Bolger's Banimpire.

Top-class older fillies Midday and Snow Fairy are also amongst the six-day entries, whilst other notable runners include the William Haggas-trained Green Destiny, prolific French raider Cirrus Des Aigles and Michael Bell's globetrotter Wigmore Hall.

In total 17 horses have been entered for the Group One contest.
