QIPCO Champion Stakes Tips

There are 11 declared for QIPCO Champion Stakes 2020 but the ones on my radar are the well drawn pair LORD NORTH and last year's winner MAGICAL.

How Did We Do?

Keith's message to VIP Members on raceday was:

MAGICAL 2/1 – Has an impressive CV with 7 Group 1's to his name including this race last year under similar conditions.

MAGICAL had to settle for third, last year's runner up ADDEYBB found conditions to his liking and kept on galloping to the line after hitting the front 2 furlongs from home.

Keith will have a tip for all races shown on ITV which he will send to all VIP members on the morning of the races.  If you are not yet a VIP member, please join VIP for free.
