Nick Skelton will present the Stobart Champion Jockey Trophy at Ascot on Champions Day.

The Olympic gold medallist, father of trainer Dan and jockey Harry Skelton, is likely to be handing the award over to Jim Crowley on Saturday.

"I was delighted to be asked to make the Stobart Champion Jockey presentation," said Skelton.

"Jim Crowley will be a thoroughly deserving champion, he's worked tremendously hard and has been in incredible form, particularly in the last few months.

"I keep a close eye on the racing world with both my sons heavily involved in jump racing.

"Ascot is such a wonderful stage and I always enjoy going racing but this year it will be even more special to catch up with some of the other Rio competitors on Champions Day."
