Limato on the drift for Champions Sprint

Coral has eased the QIPCO British Champions Sprint favourite Limato to 11-4 (from 2-1) , following support for his potential rivals Quiet Reflection, 3-1 (from 7-2) and Shalaa, 5-1 (from 7-1) today.

“With an unsettled forecast for the days ahead, Limato is not certain to get his favoured quick ground at Ascot, and that may be why punters have come for Quiet Reflection and Shalaa, and while still favourite, support for Limato has all but dried up,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

In other Champions day betting moves, QIPCO Queen Elizabeth II Stakes favourite Ribchester is 2-1 (from 9-4), while Litigant is 16-1 (from 20-1) for the QIPCO Long Distance Cup.
