Adding to his fast-accumulating haul of big-race wins on Saturday, Trueshan (Fr) (Planteur {Ire}) justified even-money favouritism to bring up a repeat in Ascot's G2 QIPCO British Champions Long Distance Cup. Successful on slow ground in the July 27 G1 Goodwood Cup and the G1 Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp a fortnight prior to this, the 5-year-old was held up in mid-division early by Hollie Doyle before making a wide move passing four out. In front two furlongs later, the bay stayed on resolutely to deny the 50-1 shot Tashkhan (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}) by 1 1/2 lengths, with 2 1/2 lengths back to Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}), who had threatened a furlong from home before flattening out.
