FRANKEL has been installed 1-3 favourite with Ladbrokes for the Group 1 Qipco Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on October 15 after the entries for the £1 million race were published on Wednesday.
The Sir Henry Cecil-trained three-year-old, still unbeaten after eight races, demolished Canford Cliffs by five lengths in the Group 1 Qipco Sussex Stakes at Glorious Goodwood last Thursdayand the pair look set to renew their rivalry as they feature in the list of 31 acceptors.
Ladbrokes offer 4-1 about Canford Cliffs and 6-1 for Goldikova, the 14-time Group 1 winner who finished behind Canford Cliffs in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
Rod Street, chief executive of the British Champions Series, said: "We couldn't have asked for better Qipco British Champions Day entries with the mouth-watering prospect of Frankel's last race of the season in the QEII in a rematch with Canford Cliffs, with the possibility of Goldikova and Dick Turpin as well, unquestionably topping the bill."
So You Think has been given a Champion Stakes entry by his trainer Aidan O'Brien but he is not quoted in the betting and is likely to run in the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown next month.
Darley July Cup winner Dream Ahead and Golden Jubilee victor Society Rock head the list of 44 entries for the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes over 6f.
Also entered for the £250,000 Group 2 is Hoof It, winner of the Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood and Sole Power, who was a 100-1 shock winner of last season's Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
Blue Bunting, winner of the Stan James 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh, could bid for her third Group 1 win of the season as she figures among the entries for the Qipco British Champions Fillies' and Mares' Stakes.
Also included in the 40-strong list is Nassau Stakes winner Midday and Oaks heroine Dancing Rain.
Ascot Gold Cup winner Fame And Glory heads the entries for the British Champions Long Distance Cup. The five-year-old is joined by Goodwood Cup one-two Opinion Poll and Lost In The Moment, as well as Queen's Vase and Gordon Stakes winner Namibian.

I thought the Fillies&Mares Race was a Group 2 ( though without penalties)

CC has been retired. Doesn't seem such an interesting race now.
Frankel Should take on so you think in the irish champion. With goldikova unlikely to run, there is very little to be gained by winning the Qe2.
He's not entered for the race, but there is a supplementary stage.

Trainer keeps running Frankel in mile races,and the QE11 is one of the top mile races,makes perfect sense to me.
He obviously thinks he is a miler,so why take the chance and send him abroad for a 10f race??
Gaining a victory in a Group1 race at his distance is fine i would think,so what if the opposition aint much,not his or his trainers problem.
His job is to do whats right for the horse and his owners,not us.
