Twelve runners are set to line up in the Long Distance Cup, with a number of horses operating at single figure odds.

Wins at Ascot, Goodwood and Curragh have previously marked this charge out as a leading two-mile.

The horse that beat Scandinavia in France was Caballo De Mar and perhaps the latter can secure the spoils in this race too. George Scott’s five-year-old has claimed consecutive wins, while Highwayman has secured three successes on the bounce. Gregory has a couple of victories on the board and should fare well for the Gosdens.

Caballo De Mar appears to be hitting form ahead of the Long Distance Cup. George Scott’s charge has secured a couple of notable victories coming into this two-mile showdown on British Champions Day. At odds of 6/1, the runner was able to get up in the Prix du Cadran, with a short neck victory causing a stir thanks to the beating of 1/5 favourite Scandinavia.
The five-year-old demonstrated excellent stamina to prove his worth over two miles and four furlongs, with that coming after a Doncaster win in mid-September. In the Howard Wright Doncaster Cup Stakes, the 5/6 favourite travelled well over two miles and two furlongs. However, the horse underperformed at York in a previous showing.
Scandinavia may well return to the winners’ enclosure according to the latest odds, with the horse having passed all assignments with flying colours before that setback at Longchamp. The two-length win at the Curragh in September was straightforward enough, with that coming after a massive Goodwood success over two miles when Trawlerman was beaten by eight lengths.
Highwayman is a young up and comer who has three consecutive wins to his name. The three-year-old is on an upward trajectory, with Joseph O’Brien saddling a charge who has kicked on from a victory at Killarney in July. There was a big priced Leopardstown win in August before an 11/1 win at Doncaster when scoring in the St Leger race by two and half lengths.
