Ribchester my nap at Ascot on a day when the jockeys may need to sit tight

1.25 Qipco British Champions Long Distance Cup

With rain arriving this week, the ground will have gone against Big Orange. That would not be true of Order Of St George, not least because he is trained by Aidan O'Brien, whose horses seem to be effective on any ground through spring, summer and autumn.

However, we have seen plenty of times in the past – including in this race 12 months ago – that Order Of St George is far from unbeatable. He is definitely an in-and-out performer and for a horse who sometimes fails to put two similar runs back to back, his price looks short enough to me.
