Godolphin's G3 Jersey S. hero Creative Force (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) had failed to strike in three outings since registering that June 19 Royal Ascot triumph and went postward for Saturday's G1 British Champions Sprint back at the Berskhire venue coming off a three-length sixth in last month's G1 Sprint Cup at Haydock. Notable as Charlie Appleby's first Champions Day contender, he kept jockey William Buick's jockeys' championship hopes alive with a decisive victory in the six-furlong dash. The €400,000 Goffs Orby yearling had sealed a run of four straight wins in the Jersey and has since run fifth in Newmarket's July 10 G1 July Cup and second contesting Goodwood's July 27 G2 Lennox S. in his penultimate start. The eventual winner was positioned sixth within range of the leaders through the early fractions until making a manoeuvre to slipstream the pacesetting Glen Shiel (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) at the quarter-mile marker. Easing out of that rival's wake to seize control approaching the final furlong, the 11-2 chance was not for catching thereafter and was ridden out in the closing stages to hit the line with a one-length advantage as low-drawn runners dominated. Shadwell's Minzaal (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) closed late to finish a length behind Glen Shiel in third while King Power Racing's 3-1 favourite Art Power (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) was compromised by his stands' side drawn and ran on strongly to fail by head for third.
