Champions Day Race Trends: Champion Sprint Stakes (2:05 Ascot)

Champions Day at Ascot is almost here…

This Saturday’s Champions Day card at Ascot is one of the standout meetings of the entire Flat season.

Elite horses. Deep fields. Massive prize money. And races where getting on the right side of the trends can make a huge difference.

I’ll be producing an in-depth analysis guide for the meeting for full NTF Members, with Champions Day at Ascot the final stop on the analysis train for the 2026 NTF Summer Service.

To give you a flavour of the analysis, I’ve included the Race Trends for Saturday’s Champion Sprint Stakes (2:05 Ascot) below.

Race trends, however, are only the starting point…

The full race analysis, shortlists, pace breakdowns, draw bias considerations and final selections are available exclusively to full NTF members AND to members of the NTF Champions Day Ticket, which is currently available for just £5.99>>>

*Only UK and Irish form has been used to construct the Race Trends for the Champion Sprint Stakes…

**The last 11 have been run as Group 1’s and I’ve used those renewals to pull together the Race Trends…


Want The Full Picture?

Race trends can help narrow the field.

But they’re only one piece of the puzzle.

The real value comes from understanding…

✅ Which horses fit the trends and the likely race setup

✅ Which runners are favoured/disadvantaged by the pace map

✅ The runners that are favoured/disadvantaged by their draw

✅ Which horses have the strongest profile for the conditions

✅ Who is likely to outperform market expectations

That’s exactly what you’ll receive inside the NTF Champions Day Ticket>>>
