Who is your best bet for British Champions Day? Let us know in the comments!

Aidan O'Brien is a central character in this week's edition of The Front Page.
Lee Mottershead, Matthew Rennie and Oliver Barnard look back on Newmarket's Future Champions Weekend, during which Coolmore's O'Brien-trained Darkness Falls defeated Godolphin's Desert Castle, in the process sparking talk of a Triple Crown challenge.
After a week in which Godolphin and Coolmore also went head to head in the sales ring at Tattersalls, the two superpowers will again be major players on British Champions Day at Ascot, where O'Brien and Andrew Balding are set to fight out a crucial set of skirmishes in the battle to be British champion trainer.
Also on the show, the team ask if the Guineas trials come too early, consider why the number of new trainers has fallen in Britain and Ireland and debate the admission of geldings into the Arc in light of Coolmore backing a petition that calls on the decision to be reversed.

Join Sam Hart, Joel Rees, Graeme Rodway and Ed Nicholson as they preview all the big action from Newmarket and York.
The team begin with Newmarket, where the Group 1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes takes centre stage. Desert Castle takes on Darkness Falls in a fascinating clash, but who will the panel side with? There’s also the small matter of the Cesarewitch Handicap, one of the toughest puzzles of the season to solve.
In the second part of the show, the panel turn their attention to York, where the Spring Trophy is the big feature. Can the team unearth a big-price winner?
To round off the show, the panel look back at last week’s Arc, share their thoughts on Daryz and finish with their best bets for the weekend.

Daryz has done what no colt has managed since Alleged in 1978: won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice. Now it looks like the end of the road, with connections all but confirming retirement to stud. The panel debates where Daryz ranks among the greats and whether his connections are right to call time.
Off the track, the budget is three weeks away and new modelling warns that betting shop tax rises would close three-quarters of Britain's betting shops and cost racing £92m a year, while racing's power players descend on Newmarket for Europe's biggest bloodstock sale.

Join Ross Brierley, Jonny Pearson and Maddy Playle as they look ahead to one of the biggest weekends in the Flat racing calendar, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, weekend at Paris Longchamp! 
The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe headlines Sunday’s spectacular card, with the world’s leading middle-distance horses battling for glory in one of racing’s most prestigious contests. The team assess the leading contenders, key dangers and best betting opportunities ahead of the big race.
There’s also a feast of Group 1 action across the weekend, including the Prix de l’Opera, Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, Prix Marcel Boussac, Prix de la Foret and Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp on Sunday.
Saturday’s card features the Prix de Royallieu, Prix du Cadran, Prix Chaudenay and Prix Dollar, offering plenty of opportunities for punters to find winners and value across two days of top-class European racing.
Tune in as Ross, Jonny and Maddy reveal their best bets, value selections and verdicts ahead of an unforgettable weekend at Paris Longchamp.
