Saturday Ascot Promo: Money back on all Long Distance Cup losers

It's Champions Day at Ascot this Saturday and the Betfair Exchange has made the occasion even more special for you.

That's because you cannot lose on the 13:25.

Place a £10 bet through the Exchange and if your horse wins - great! But, if it doesn't, you receive your money back as a free bet.

So whether your selection finishes a neck second or is still running as the winner heads back to the enclosure, Betfair will offer you another chance to bet for free.

If that wasn't good enough for you, Betfair's very own Daryl Carter has done his research and has provided you with his NAP to help you out.

Back the Betfair ambassador!

Trueshan never gave his true running in a falsely run Doncaster Cup last time, and that race recorded a ten-length slower time from the 1m6f point than Eldar Eldorov's St Leger win.

I wouldn't get carried away with the latter, though. Eldar Eldorov may have looked good in a poor renewal of the Doncaster Classic, but it was comparative to the handicap won on the card by Going Gone - and didn't read favourably.

He looks over-bet here, and while Trueshan could bounce back off a stronger gallop, he will need to run right up to his best to deny Aidan O'Brien's improving three-year-old Waterville, who could have any amount to come.

No three-year-old has won this since 2009, but Waterville has been held in high regard and was thought to be the Ballydoyle's Derby horse before he had run in a Maiden and has taken time to come to hand.

He scored remarkably in the Irish Cesarewitch from a poor position and clocked a time only a fraction slower than the seven-furlong Group 3 winner from three out to the line, and he didn't get the clearest of runs.

Most Derby horses go into the classic rated between 109 and those most fancied 117. He receives nine pounds from the 123-rated Trueshan today, is two for two when tackling extreme trips, and is open to further improvement.

This is a step up in grade, but he has everything in his arsenal to be a big player in division that has lacked spark in recent years. This can be a changing of the guard of sorts.
