Using stride length, cadence, acceleration, sectional times, finishing speed and draw bias, Laura examines the numbers behind the leading contenders, identifies potentially vulnerable favourites and explores where the betting value might lie. 12:55 | TWO-YEAR-OLD CONDITIONS STAKES Can Night In Vegas continue his winning sequence, or do the speed figures favour Arapaho Gold? RaceiQ examines the juveniles' acceleration, finishing speed and the significance of their previous meetings. 13:30 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS LONG DISTANCE CUP (GROUP 1) Progressive Ebor winner Daiquiri Bay steps into Group 1 company. But it's a horse who he beat in the Ebor that intrigues Laura with impressive sectionals suggest he could be a serious contender, but will the step up to two miles suit? 14:05 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS SPRINT STAKES (GROUP 1) Almeraq is the horse to beat, but does the data suggest he's vulnerable on quicker ground? Laura examines his acceleration and finishing-speed figures, while putting forward a fascinating alternative. 14:40 | BRITISH CHAMPIONS FILLIES & MARES STAKES (GROUP 1) Kalpana bids for a third consecutive victory, but could stall one, a stronger pace and her demanding Yorkshire Oaks performance leave her vulnerable?

RaceiQ breaks down last year's Champion Stakes sectionals to reveal where Calandagan gained the decisive advantage, what Ombudsman must do differently and how Bay City Roller, Almaqam and Constitution River compare. 16:35 | BALMORAL HANDICAP Could Gavriel be particularly well suited by dropping back to a mile? His remarkable stride-frequency figures suggest there may be more improvement to come, while the draw and pace analysis could prove crucial in this competitive handicap.
