\"Horse<\/p>\n

This Saturday sees a fantastic day in store for fans of flat racing, as the world\u2019s best middle-distance horses arrive at Ascot to take part in one of the most prestigious Group One races in the calendar.<\/p>\n

A superb field of 11 horses have already been confirmed and it looks set to be a cracking renewal over a mile and three furlongs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve taken a look at the card and have picked out some of the horses to keep an eye on, whilst also assessing the rest of the field.<\/p>\n

Anthony Van Dyck (13\/2<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aidan O\u2019Brien\u2019s colt came through strongly at the Epsom Derby back in June, when Seamie Heffernan waited for a gap to open up on the inside and stayed on to claim the win.<\/p>\n

However, this was followed by a disappointing run at the Curragh, with Anthony Van Dyck looking to win a British and Irish Derby double. At 33\/1, Sovereign opened up an unassailable lead on O\u2019Brien\u2019s colt, but it was a poor race, despite Anthony Van Dyck finishing second.<\/p>\n

Three-year olds have a poor recent record in the King George, with just three winners since the turn of the century. His staying ability isn\u2019t questionable, but there look to be stronger horses in this race.<\/p>\n

Enable (4\/6<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Enable will be looking to win her second King George after victory in 2017 and it\u2019s hard to form an argument as to how she\u2019ll fail.<\/p>\n

She returned at the Eclipse earlier in the month after trainer John Gosden had to abandon some runs earlier in the year. She ran at 80% capacity and was still the strongest horse in the race, managing to defeat the fitter horses in the race and enters Saturday\u2019s renewal looking for an eleventh straight win.<\/p>\n

At 4\/6, one of the others in the field is going to have to have a miracle run if they\u2019re to beat the dual Arc winner.<\/p>\n

Crystal Ocean (11\/4<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sir Michael Stoute\u2019s horse comes into the King George fresh from a win in the Prince of Wales\u2019 Stakes, where a masterful run culminated in a maiden Group One win for Crystal Ocean.<\/p>\n

11 months on from an agonising second place in last year\u2019s King George, Stoute and Frankie Dettori were celebrating in the awful conditions at Ascot, having demolished Magical and Waldgeist in the home straight.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s King George saw a narrow second-place finish to stablemate Poet\u2019s Word, who remains just one of two horses to defeat the five-year old (Cracksman the other). This shows that only genuine top-class horses have been able to beat him, however, there\u2019s one also running in this race\u2026<\/p>\n

Rest of the Field<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Defoe (11\/1<\/a>) stunned everyone with a win in the Coronation Cup, before following up with a win in the Hardwicke, but both races looked weak and it\u2019ll require a career-best effort to achieve even a place finish.<\/p>\n

Andre Fabre\u2019s Waldgeist (18\/1<\/a>) has failed to live up to expectations so far this year and Ascot hasn\u2019t been a great venue for the five-year old. Unlikely to challenge Enable or Crystal Ocean.<\/p>\n

Asian runner, Cheval Grand (25\/1<\/a>), shows that the King George Stakes is truly on the global stage, but hasn\u2019t won a race since November 2017. However, on his day, he can cope with the market leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
