Jack Hobbs is still clearly the best horse in the Champion Stakes,despite anxiety over his wide draw at Ascot today 7.10pm BSTJohn Gosden has been fretting approximately a wide draw for his Jack Hobbs (3.05) in the Champion Stakes but the difficulty of stall 12 can be overplayed when, so far as we can bid, and this three-year-old is clearly the best horse in this race and has meaningful potential to be better than he has so far shown.
Beaten only by Golden Horn in his six starts so far,Jack Hobbs seized his opportunity when that rival was absent to land the Irish Derby, after which he was given a midsummer break that should help here. This distance is short of his ideal but some reduce in the ground will help.
