Baaeed might be the star attraction on British Champions Day but John and Thady Gosden once again look set to play a prominent role at Ascot with a strong team spearheaded by superstar filly Inspiral.

The Gosden stable is the joint-most successful yard, alongside Aidan O'Brien, in the 11-year history of British Champions Day with eight wins and Inspiral is set to be a short-priced favourite for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes to give them win number nine at the marquee fixture.
