FASTEST timefigure of the week under review came at Ascot, not in the Champion or Queen Elizabeth II, but in the Champions Sprint, which was less classy but run at an even pace from start to finish.

The race went to The Tin Man with a timefigure of 122, which is joint-10th-fastest by an older horse in Britain and Ireland this year, though still behind Mecca’s Angel (129), Limato (126) and Profitable (125) among sprinters.
