Andrew Balding is looking forward to seeing Elm Park take his chance on Qipco Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday.

Elm Park is expected to feature in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over a mile, although he is also still entered in the 10-furlong Champion Stakes.

Last year's Racing Post Trophy hero has endured mixed fortunes this term, finishing a creditable third in the Dante before trailing home in 11th on quick ground in the Derby.

Elm Park returned to action after his Classic disappointment when winning a Sandown Listed race last month and Balding expects conditions to suit this weekend.

He told BBC Radio Berkshire: "I am really pleased with the way he is working and I think he will run a big race.

"He looked back to his best.

"He is in fine form. I am looking forward to seeing him going again with a bit of give in the ground."
