MAGICAL proved the pick of Aidan O’Brien’s six runners to win the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot, as hot favourite Lah Ti Dar fell short in the Group 1 showpiece.

Tenth when last seen in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe earlier this month, Magical (5/1) was happier back against her own sex and comfortably landed the spoils.
She was brought with a strong run early in the straight by Ryan Moore to head the John Gosden-trained favourite Lah Ti Dar over a furlong out.
The daughter of Galileo maintained the tempo to hold another Gosden runner, Coronet, by a length.
