Muhaarar won his fourth straight Group One with a scintillating display in the Qipco British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot.

The Charlie Hills-trained three-year-old was always up with the pace and travelling sweetly for Paul Hanagan.

Asked to win his race over a furlong out, the 5-2 favourite quickly put matters to bed to confirm his position as the best six-furlong horse around.

He went on to win by two lengths from Twilight Son, with Danzeno a length and a half away in third and The Tin Man fourth.

Hanagan said: "I'm delighted for everyone, it's a great job by Charlie and the whole team. He'd had a long time off and the worry was he would get too fresh, but they've done a great job with him.

"I t's been a long year for him, but he's got such a fantastic temperament.

"I was getting there a bit too early, but I always thought he might like a bit of cut in the ground and it was never in doubt."
