QIPCO British Champions Sprint looks set to be mouth-watering clash

Mecca's Angel Sprint Champions Day

24 top-class speedsters remain in the QIPCO British Champions Sprint to provide a giddy combination chasing the £600,000 purse.

Mecca’s Angel, the dual Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes heroine, and Quiet Reflection, winner of the Commonwealth Cup and 32Red Sprint Cup, remain on course for a potential clash with the likes of Limato, Twilight Son, Shalaa, Lumiere and Signs Of Blessing.

Dual Group 1 winner Twilight Son, who finished runner-up to Muhaarar in last year’s running, will be having his final race before standing as a stallion at Cheveley Park next year.

“Twilight Son is definitely heading in that direction,” Henry Candy, his trainer, said. “He looks fantastic and is in great form.”
