Talk Of New York is currently favoured for the competitive Group One mile contest (3:20 PM) at Ascot's British Champions Day. The colt, trained by Charlie Appleby, has had a quieter season, progressing through grades, and is now seen as a Group One miler.
A strong pace is anticipated from the Coolmore contingent, which is expected to suit Talk Of New York. If the horse can replicate its recent late acceleration shown at Newmarket, it is expected to be hard to beat.
In the Balmoral Handicap (4:35 PM), Ebt's Guard is considered at 16/1 for an each-way bet. The horse finished second in this race last year and has an admirable record over Ascot's straight mile. Tribal Chief, also priced at 16/1, is another contender, particularly if he can avoid his previous slow starts.
