Racing celebrity and top jockey Frankie Dettori has to make a special request to compete at Britain's richest fixture.
The Italian rider needs to move one day of a ban ahead of the £4 million end of season finale on October 16.
QIPCO British Champions Day takes place at Ascot, where Dettori went through the card on one afternoon 25 years ago – an achievement which made him famous.
Riding all of the winners on September 28, 1996, the 'Magnificent Seven' cost bookmakers £30 million.
To return to the royal venue in ten days' time, Dettori has to ask France Galop for permission, after he committed two whip breaches during Arc weekend.
Longchamp stewards suspended him for two days after Loving Dream got up for a short neck victory in Saturday's Group 1 Prix de Royallieu.
On Sunday Dettori received a four-day ban when Grand Glory was pipped by Rougir in the Group 1 Prix de l’Opera.
The penalty kicks in on October 16, the prestigious Saturday, however jockeys can apply to move one day of it.
If the exemption is allowed, the British Horseracing Authority would be notified.
“I’m going to play my joker," Dettori said.
“As one of the bans was for two days, my manager will email France Galop to move the days, and then France Galop will contact the British Horseracing Authority.
“Once they have told them that I want to move the days, I will be OK to ride at Ascot.”
Back in the summer, Dettori became just the second jockey to reach 50 QIPCO British Champions Series wins.
His milestone success came in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot aboard Palace Pier.
The John and Thady Gosden-trained colt is expected to clash the highly-rated Baaeed in the QIPCO Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on Champions Day – one of the most anticipated races of the season.
Last week, Dettori was presented with a special cake at the racecourse, with the words 'Commemorating the 25th anniversary of your Magnificent Seven' iced on it.
He delighted 102-year-old superfan Mary Moore by taking the time to speak to her – and the pair's subsequent interview entertained TV viewers.
Dettori's updated autobiography, published in 2004, is due out next month.
At this time of year, his Ascot feat is always a big talking point.
"It does seem 25 years when I watch the replays! Mind you, what a day. And now I'm 50," he said.
"It was that day which made me famous. I watched the replays the other day, because I was doing a documentary.
"It's what dreams are made of. You can't put your head round it, how the thing happened.
"It was mad, absolutely mad. At least it gave the sport a good lift. Usually it's all about negative stuff — it was nice to have some positive stuff.
"To me, it was my turning point really."
