Belardo could travel
overseas in search of some cut in the ground should conditions be too quick at
Royal Ascot next week
Connections of California Chrome admit that the Kentucky Derby winner could be facing his
toughest test yet as he gears up for Wednesday's Prince Of Wales's Stakes at
Royal Ascot. Opponents
include, Kevin Ryan's The Grey Gatsby, who was
also second at Meydan behind Solow in the Dubai Turf, will try to win his first
race since he lowered the colours of Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes in
September.
The Grey Gatsby was fourth to Al Kazeem in the Tattersalls Gold
Cup at the Curragh, a race which Free Eagle had to miss because he was suffering from a head cold.
Dermot Weld reports Free Eagle to be A1 again now, and the four-year-old is ready to run for
the first time since he was third in the Qipco Champion Stakes over the course
and distance in October.
There are two French-trained possibles in Ectot and Gailo Chop while Japanese
challenger Spielberg and Criterion from Australia add even more global
interest.
John Gosden is double-handed with Eagle Top and Western Hymn
while Sir Michael Stoute relies on Cannock Chase. The Corsican, trained by
David Simcock, completes the list.
